So my dad is a big-time Yankee fan. Big time. Like, from the womb, I've worn Yankees stuff. And over the years, pretty much once I got into college, I never really had a favorite team after that. So for him, when we played the Yankees, I think it was in July, that was funny. That man wanted to wear a half Dodger, half Yankee jersey. He's a man of all trades, so he wanted to sew one and do all that. I said, 'Dude, if you do that, I am not getting you tickets to these games.' So World Series rolls around, everyone is texting him, 'Who are you going to root for?' He's like, 'I'm rooting for my son. I have to.' It was just a super cool moment to be at Yankee Stadium and celebrate on the field.
All of our dreams have come true. No one ever thought I was going to make it to the big leagues, let alone be on a playoff team, let alone be in the World Series pitching and doing all that stuff. It's what we had dreamed about and talked about. That was a very special moment for me.
Vesia was one of the Dodgers' most effective relief pitchers in the postseason as he combined to throw 5.2 scoreless innings over seven appearances. That included 2.2 shutout innings against the Yankees in the World Series.
