Evil Empire Pre-Game Show

The champion Dodgers are dominating October again. There’s more behind their success than money.

The players and coaches in Dodger Blue — and the more than 4 million fans who have packed Dodger Stadium all season long — had absolutely no interest in worrying about what their success means to other people while they celebrated another unforgettable night.

Manager Dave Roberts said it best when he took the microphone on the field stage after his team steamrolled the 97-win Brewers.

“I’ll tell you, before this season started, they said the Dodgers are ruining baseball,” Roberts shouted. “Let’s get four more wins and really ruin baseball!”

The Chavez Ravine crowd roared in appreciation of a team that repeatedly has made the most of its advantages — for the past two years in particular.
