ONLY FOR PHOTO GALLERY SUNDAY 27 OCT 2024 Left to right, Steen Miranda, 34, and Jesse Rodriguez, 41, pose for a portrait while waiting to enter Dodgers Stadium before the start of the second World Series game in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, October 26, 2024.
What do the Dodgers mean to you?
Rodriguez: “It’s about family and it’s embedded in my soul. For me it was a way on connecting with my dad and my grandpa. We grew up down the road in Lincoln Heights. If it wasn’t for my grandpa and my dad, I wouldn’t know what baseball is.
I watched every game and spring training. If they’re playing in Japan or Korea, I’m watching. When I was deployed, I’d still catch up with the Dodgers through family sending me care packages or news clippings.”
Any thoughts about New York or the Yankees?
“Dodgers in 6. LA has better food.”
Miranda: “It’s about family. Since the age of 12, I didn’t know there were other baseball teams.”
"New York has good pizza."
