Let's get into it with 35 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: a little news. As was first reported on this program, 36 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Dodgers won their second consecutive World Series 37 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: championship title in early November, and on Thursday this week, 38 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: December eighteenth, Major League Baseball announced the totals for the 39 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: postseason bonus pool, of which each Dodgers players share came 40 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: to four hundred and eighty four thousand, seven hundred and 41 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: forty eight dollars. That's almost half a mill of a 42 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: Christmas bonus coming in each and every one of our 43 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: World Series champion Boys in Blue, some extra pocket money, 44 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: a few more presents under the tree, and you might think, 45 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: what why bonus huh? So the way that this is calculated, 46 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: per the terms of Major League Baseball's Collective Bargaining Agreement, 47 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: also known as the CBA, that bonus money comes from 48 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: ticket sales basically sixty percent of the gate for the 49 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: minimum amount of games in each series that any one 50 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: team plays in, So two games in the wild Card 51 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Round aka a best of three series, three games for 52 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: the Division Series, and four games each for the League 53 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: Championship Series and the World Series. They take sixty percent 54 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: of the ticket sales from all those games to create 55 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: a pool to split amongst all of the postseason teams 56 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty five five came to a total 57 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: of one hundred and twenty eight point two million dollars, 58 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: and then from that total, the Dodgers, as the World 59 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: Series champions, received as an organization, the Lions share thirty 60 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: six percent of that sixty percent of one hundred and 61 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: twenty eight point two million, So that's forty six million 62 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: dollars of bonus money compared to the Blue Jays got 63 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: thirty point seven six million. And then all the other 64 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: organizations who made it to the playoffs get a progressively 65 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: smaller piece of this pie based on how deep they 66 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: got into the postseason. And if you're wondering what happens 67 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: to the rest of the revenue outside of that sixty 68 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: percent of ticket sales for the minimum amount of games 69 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: in every series, well, the other forty percent of ticket 70 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: sale revenue from those games and all of the revenue 71 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: from ticket sales from all the other games that were played, 72 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: that all goes to the owners and the rich get richer. 73 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: Each organization, after they receive their total slice of the pie, 74 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: can decide on how that money is distributed by issuing 75 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: shares of the total pool. Well, how does that part work? 76 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to quote from Fabian Ardaya, past interview guest 77 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: on Dodger Blue Dream, who writes about the Dodgers for 78 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: the Athletic All players and managers eligible for the World 79 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: Series or who went on the injured list on June 80 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: first or later received a full share, a share being 81 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: that four hundred and eighty four thousand dollars number roughly 82 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: half a mil. Other players who weren't with the team 83 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: by that date June first are subject to a team 84 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: vote on whether they receive a full or partial share, 85 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: along with select staff members. And that's interesting, especially particularly 86 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: this year because in the case of World Series hero 87 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: Will Klein, who you heard about on this show, he 88 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: joined the roster on June second this year, when he 89 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: was acquired via a trade with the Seattle Mariners. So yeah, 90 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: the plot thickens. I guess that he got his share, 91 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: but I don't know. And other players joined after that date, 92 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: like Alex call for example. Other staffers, ground's crew members, 93 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: traveling secretaries, and others are not eligible for shares, but 94 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: can receive cash rewards. According to an article on MLB 95 00:07:53,680 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: dot com, the Dodgers awarded eighty two full shares, but 96 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: they also awarded twelve point five partial shares and three 97 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand dollars in cash rewards from the 98 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five pool. All right, enough on that, What 99 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: is this marketplace? 100 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: Who am I? 101 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: Kay Risdahl, No, I'm not. 102 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: Paession Fashion. 103 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: Next up on the show, I'd like to muse a 104 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: little on holiday gift ideas for the Dodger fan in 105 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: your life, inadvertently maybe passion fashion.

So I've probably amassed 141 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: about maybe fourteen fourteen to seventeen jackets, I think, and 142 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: some of them. 143 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: Are just jacket.

So like as an adult, when 160 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 3: I got back into the Dodgers, because like there was 161 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: a time when like like high school in the nineties 162 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: and then like college and the and the aughts where 163 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 3: I kind of fell out of like really paying attention. 164 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 3: I was focusing on going to school and stuff like that. 165 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: And so once I started getting back in the Dodgers, 166 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 3: I'd say in the mid two thousands, when I moved 167 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 3: back to LA I was like, did I really want 168 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 3: a vintage Dodgers jacket like the ones that I grew 169 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 3: up seeing Fernando where Gibbie where hersheyes, are where, and 170 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 3: so like the only place I really knew where to 171 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 3: get that at the time would probably be eBay.

It's a beautiful satin jacket. 186 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: It's a it's a late seventies early eighties zipper one. 187 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 3: So it's got the collar, it's got the white zipper, 188 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 3: it's got the starter like logo on the side, and 189 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 3: that one. 190 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: I wore that with so much like pride. 191 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: And then when I worked to the games, people at 192 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: the time would be like, oh, that's a fresh jacket. 193 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 3: And then a lot of the jackets that you were 194 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 3: seeing at that time were like kind of the be dazzled, 195 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: like for. 196 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 2: The women, a lot of us be dazzled, you know. 197 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 3: You'd see like I think Alissa Milano had a line 198 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 3: that was a collaboration with the Dodgers, and her jackets 199 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 3: were like smaller, but they were all be dazzled like 200 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: they they weren't like just like a cool wool Dodger 201 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 3: jack a cool satin Dodger jacket. 202 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 2: They had like a twist to them. 203 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 3: It was kind of after that like Affliction era, I guess, 204 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: and maybe that rubbed off on the style a little bit. 205 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 3: It just wasn't what I was jamming with. So for me, 206 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 3: like with with what was happening with the modern look, 207 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 3: I wasn't that into. But you would have random stores 208 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 3: like Champs or even J. C. Penny that would have 209 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 3: like small runs of Dodger jackets by like Majestic or 210 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: Eve even early on like chalk Line and things like 211 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 3: that that would be a little bit more obscure or 212 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 3: even like a clubhouse or what's the other one, Mitchell 213 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 3: and Ness. When Mitchell and Ness was starting, they'd come 214 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: out with some really cool jackets So another one that 215 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 3: I got was a that I get props on is 216 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: a canvas style bomber jacket that I bought from J.

So for me, it's like I've 224 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: always been really into it. So I kind of slowly 225 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 3: amassed this collection of jackets and one of the grails 226 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: for me was a nineties chalk line jacket that had 227 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 3: it embroidered with Dodgers in collegiate block over the LA 228 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 3: symbol and on the back had you know, Dodgers spelled 229 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 3: out in this collegiate font. 230 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: But this was a chalk line jacket that I remember. 231 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 3: It was all the rage, like people were in Raiders 232 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: ones like that, Dodgers ones like that, Rams, Lakers, whatever 233 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 3: sports team you were into. They made it forty nine 234 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 3: ers and it had the helmet, you know, what I mean. 235 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 3: And so that jacket was sold at the swap meet, 236 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 3: at the indoor swap Meet in pice Co Rivera on 237 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 3: slots and rest in peace to the indoor squat Meet 238 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 3: in Pee Corivera.

Finally I saw one 245 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 3: and I saw the chalkoln I was like, chalk line 246 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: my size, I'm gonna buy it. So you know, they 247 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: had it on there. I paid a little bit more 248 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 3: for I think I paid one hundred and twenty five 249 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 3: bucks for it.

It's like 253 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 3: getting like a vintage jersey, or it's getting like a 254 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: cool hat, or it's getting you one. 255 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: Of your like I know, how you really want?

What I found out is 319 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 3: a lot of the players they did is they actually 320 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 3: tailored to sleeve shorter. 321 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 2: So if you look at the pictures of these guys 322 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 2: and I are always more cut cut. 323 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, in the fifties and the sixties, they would actually 324 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 3: have them tailored like yeah, because they were hot ash 325 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: plane at well shut of course, so they would have 326 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 3: them tailored made them shorter. And that's something I found 327 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 3: out by just doing a little bit of research. I 328 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 3: was like, why did the jerseys look so much cooler 329 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 3: on them? It's because they had them tailored, you know 330 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 3: what I mean just a little bit. They would cut 331 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 3: off like two inches and it'd give it a slope 332 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 3: and you know, you could show off your arms if 333 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 3: you're batting and stuff. 334 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just cooler when you're running. 335 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 3: You're in la you know you're not you want to 336 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: stay cool as possible and you know readable. 337 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: So having a really dope jacket is a good place 338 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: to start. And I have to say that that jacket 339 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: that you gave me, the zipper starter jacket, I got 340 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: the Mitchell and Nass released not real satin, but like 341 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: like satin look button version of that, which is more 342 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: from I guess the early nineties. I think at some 343 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: point in the early nineties it switched from the zipper 344 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: to the buttons. But I had gotten that one like 345 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: right around that same time. But I wear the one, 346 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: the real satin one that you've gotten. It just like 347 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: fits a little bit better and. 348 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 3: They feel so much better like the old ones. They 349 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 3: really do feel like they're made better. 350 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: When I wear it to Dodger Stadium or around, I 351 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: mean pretty much every time I wear it, I got 352 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: a compliment on it. 353 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and that's the thing. 354 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 3: You know, you want to peacock a little bit with 355 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 3: your little Dodger jacket on, you know, and just a 356 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 3: little bit. 357 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: You know. 358 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 3: One of the jackets that did come out in the 359 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 3: last couple of years that has been really really cool 360 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: was that Born Raised. 361 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: They came out.

Yeah, you know, I 373 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: have a I have a Jeff. 374 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 3: I think it's I don't want to get the name wrong, 375 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: but I think Jeff Hamilton, the leather jacket maker that 376 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 3: was real famous for doing the Kobe Bryant the three 377 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 3: P jacket. 378 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: So I have a leather jacket that has white. 379 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 3: Sleeves and a huge LA and it's black and white 380 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 3: and it's a I would say it's mid to late nineties. 381 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 3: That's another one that I that I picked up that 382 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 3: I was really happy that I got. So I have 383 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 3: a good, good selection, but I don't ever wear them 384 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 3: because it's too hot. And the ultimate one that I 385 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 3: have is the nineteen fifty six. 386 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: Dodgers. 387 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 3: It's Brooklyn Dodgers, but there does nothing that says Brooklyn 388 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 3: on it. It just says Dodgers in the cursive that 389 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 3: was that real early cursive that you see when the 390 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 3: Dodgers first moved to LA and so the script looks 391 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 3: a little different. The sleeves are like this cream yellowish 392 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 3: color and it's that beautiful Dodger's blue. 393 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 2: It's really nice made jacket. And Mitchellanes made those. 394 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 3: Mitchellanes made those stuff, i'd say fifteen years ago, and 395 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 3: they were very very hard to find. 396 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 2: But I picked up that one. That's one of my 397 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 2: favorite ones that I have. 398 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's sort of the beauty of fashion and 399 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: clothes is that you know, there's utility, there's sort of 400 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: the meaning behind it, and play with it. 401 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: Have fun where what you dig.
