The Los Angeles Dodgers captured their first World Series title in 32 years in a distinctive setting at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, during the unprecedented 2020 MLB season affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The unique circumstances meant the postseason was played at neutral sites, and the team wasn't able to celebrate at their home stadium. Player Mookie Betts reflected on the month spent in Texas during the playoffs, highlighting both the challenges and unforgettable moments, such as connecting with loved ones, illustrating how the experience shaped their victory.
"I think every time I come into this park, that situation in life - COVID, that month that we spent here, we were here for literally a month straight - just reminds you obviously of what we accomplished by winning the World Series. It's something that in life, staying in a hotel for a month, just life experiences you'll never forget, for sure."
"They always say in every sport, defense wins championships. That's one thing I definitely remember. I remember down the right field line, I know people can't see, but my wife was always down there every game with my daughter. I remember in between pitches, looking at her, and we were doing our little sign language through the games."
