Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks Honoring the 2020 Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Remarks Honoring the 2020 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers July 2, 2021 The President. Hey, Mr. Mayor, how are you? Well, good afternoon, everyone. It's a great beginning of the Fourth of July weekend. Madam Vice President. Mr. Leader, how are you? Good to see you. We're here today to congratulate a group of folks who did pretty well. Welcome to the White House. I have a feeling, Kamala, I think we may be doing this again by the end of the year. [Laughter] I don't know, man. I'm not sure I'll be able to handle Garcetti if you win twice. [Laughter] You know, I mean, it's going to be hard, really hard. But the 2020 World Series Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, are here. And we're honored and thrilled they're here. And that goes for the Vice President too. She's from California, you probably heard. I'm not going to mention which end of the State she's from right now— [laughter]—and who she roots for, but—is Doug here? Vice President Kamala D. Harris. He was with them last night. The President. I know he was. I thought he may—— Vice President Harris. Came home wearing his jersey. So—[laughter]—— The President. I tell you what—well, you know, we have—you know, when you talk about mixed families, I got a mixed family, and she's got a mixed family, based on baseball— [laughter]—and sports. I'm not going to mention that team in Northern California, in the San Francisco area. And I'm not going to mention that team in Philadelphia. [Laughter] My wife is a Philly girl from her belt buckle to her shoe soles. And if I root for anybody, but the Phillies, I'll be sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom alone. [Laughter] But it's, you know, sometimes—well, no, never. But at any rate—but the Dodgers are a lot more than a baseball club. They really are. They're a pillar of American culture and American progress. And that's for real. The team that brought us the voice of Vin Scully and Sandy—the arm of Sandy Koufax and Fernando Valenzuela—and I was talking with staff, and they said, "I want to teach you how to pronounce that name." I said, "I watched him pitch." [Laughter] But I'm only 37. [Laughter] But it's—I wish—anyway, above all else, the heart of Jackie Robinson. Now, you're building a new dynasty for a new generation. And I've often said that it's never a good idea to bet against the American people; I tell that to every world leader I encounter. Well, now we know it's never a good idea to bet against Mookie. [Laughter] And Mookie is a hell of a ballplayer, but—and a guy who used to love Mookie is my Chief Strategist, Mike Donilon. But he doesn't want to talk to Mookie anymore. [Laughter] Mookie left Boston, and this is a Boston fan. I mean, you know, there's nothing like dividing staffs based on baseball. But, folks, it's not a good idea to bet against Clayton either, you know, or Cody. You know, this is a world championship organization because they've got a team full of guys who stepped up when they were called upon. Just stepped up. And it takes a team to finish with the best record in baseball—to knock out the Brewers, the Padres, the Braves, the Rays—and win it all. And the Dodgers just didn't win. You finished with the highest winning percentage of any team since 1954. Think about that: the winningest ball club since 1954. 1 You know, it takes a team to persevere through one of the most challenging seasons and one of the most challenging years in our Nation's history. In the pandemic, when it struck, it upended just about everything, every part of American life. Families were grieving for loved ones lost. The economy collapsed. And the pain and fear in the Nation were immeasurable. And when the season began, it was easy to feel like it was—they had bigger things to worry about than just sports. And of course, we did, and we still do. But I think what we discovered is that we need sports more than we ever realized. We see it now, as fans return to ballparks and arenas all across the country, cheering on their favorite players and teams, sharing that sense of community and pride. It's a uniting feature, as I said to you guys in the other room. And when we go through a crisis, very often, sports brings us together to heal, to help us feel like things are going to be okay, they're going to get better. For a few hours each day, feeling and sensing and experiencing something familiar, something normal, something that's fun in the middle of the chaos, and believing that we're going to get back to all that we're missing and we're going to get back to it someday soon. So today we celebrate your incredible achievement. We celebrate the great work you do on and off the field, in the community, and on childhood literacy, preventing bullying, and so much more. For the way this team is built and from the way it's built, I suspect we have many of you, as I said, maybe back visiting soon. Above all, as we beat this pandemic and celebrate fans coming back to stadiums, we celebrate something else: a national achievement. We came together, as fellow Americans— frontline workers, friends, families, neighbors—looking out for one another. And Dodgers Stadium was the heart of that effort—I want to thank the ownership for that—the heart of the effort, administering more than 1 million COVID tests at the stadium and getting nearly a half million vaccine doses in people's arms. Dodgers also helped us come together by being the first team in baseball to make their stadium available to voting—as distanced, outdoor vote centers during the last election. So not only does Dodgers Stadium hosts world champions, it helped save lives and strengthen our democracy as well. Together, as a Nation, we have proved that it truly is never a good bet to bet against America. America is back, and the Dodgers are back. So congratulations to all of you, and the best of luck the rest of the season. May God bless you all, and may God protect our troops. Thank you. Now let's bring up a three-time Cy Young Award winner, Clayton Kershaw, to say a few words and maybe throw a few curveballs. [Laughter] Okay? Come on up, man. Pitcher Clayton Kershaw. Thank you, Mr. President. Hi, everybody. First time to speak at the White House, so sorry if I'm a little nervous. [Laughter] But, Mr. President, thank you for having us. It's an honor to be here and get to celebrate our World Series victory here at the White House. Last season was a special one for us, but it was also a challenging one for our country. And our hope was that we were able to provide just a little bit of joy and comfort and relief to our fans that were going through some tough times. This season, it's been incredible to have fans back in the ballpark. We missed their energy and their passion for the game. And it means so much to us that people are coming back to the 2 ballpark and things around the country are going back to normal. Hopefully, like you said, we can come visit again next year. So, with that, we brought something for you and the Vice President. And now our team owner, Mark Walter, is going to bring that down for you. [At this point, the President was presented with a jersey.] The President. I want to just show you I'm a man of courage. [Laughter] [The President displayed the front of the jersey on his chest.] Well, thank you very much. What a lovely—what a great honor. Thank you. Mr. Kershaw. I think Doc is going to come up now and present to the—Madam Vice President. Manager Dave "Doc" Roberts. Madam Vice President, this is your jersey. Vice President Harris. Indeed it is. [Laughter] Thank you all. Thank you. Thanks, guys. Mr. Roberts. That blue looks very good on you. [Laughter] The President. Hold it up. Vice President Harris. There you go. The President. All right. Okay. Vice President Harris. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Kershaw. Thank you so much for having us. The President. Thank you, man. Mr. Kershaw. Appreciate it. Thank you. [Laughter] The President. All right. You're going to take this down, I know, in a minute, but hang on a second. Folks, you know, I think even the Americans who aren't baseball fans, they—there's an awful lot of baseball metaphors and an awful lot that we—it creeps into every part of our language and our culture. And it has been one of the great equalizers. What—come on up here, Madam Vice President. What the Vice President and I have spent a lot of time working on making sure we do is deal with the equity in the United States. Vice President Harris. Yes. The President. Making sure that we change the dynamic in a fundamental way.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, March 20, 2019 * The Boston Globe What Mike Trout’s $430m extension might mean for Mookie Betts’s future Peter Abraham FORT MYERS, Fla. — The road signs are now in place, markers that the Red Sox and Mookie Betts can follow to get to what would be the richest contract in Boston sports history. Manny Machado took 10 years and $300 million from the San Diego Padres. Bryce Harper was next with a record-setting 13-year, $330 million contract to play for the Philadelphia Phillies. Then on Tuesday came the news that Mike Trout was closing in on an extension with the Los Angeles Angels that would pay him $360 million over 10 years after his current deal expires in two seasons. For the 26-year-old Betts, those are his peers. Harper and Machado are 26, and Trout is 27. From a statistical perspective, Betts stands with Trout. Or at least as close as anyone can stand with Trout. As calculated by Baseball-Reference.com, Betts has 32.9 WAR over his four full seasons in the majors. Only Trout (36.6) has more over that same period. Machado (23.2) is seventh, and Harper a surprising 23rd with 17.5. The difference is that Trout has been outlandishly valuable for seven full seasons. Betts essentially shrugged when asked his opinion of the Harper and Machado deals. “We’re all different players,” he said after Harper signed. “We all have different things that are important. Good for those guys.” Betts had good reason not to overreact.

    Postseason Recaps, Line Scores, Stats & Records World Champions 1955 World Champions For the Brooklyn Dodgers, the 1955 World Series was not just a chance to win a championship, but an opportunity to avenge five previous World Series failures at the hands of their chief rivals, the New York Yankees. Even with their ace Don Newcombe on the mound, the Dodgers seemed to be doomed from the start, as three Yankee home runs set back Newcombe and the rest of the team in their opening 6-5 loss. Game 2 had the same result, as New York's southpaw Tommy Byrne held Brooklyn to five hits in a 4-2 victory. With the Series heading back to Brooklyn, Johnny Podres was given the start for Game 3. The Dodger lefty stymied the Yankees' offense over the first seven innings by allowing one run on four hits en route to an 8-3 victory. Podres gave the Dodger faithful a hint as to what lay ahead in the series with his complete-game, six-strikeout performance. Game 4 at Ebbets Field turned out to be an all-out slugfest. After falling behind early, 3-1, the Dodgers used the long ball to knot up the series. Future Hall of Famers Roy Campanella and Duke Snider each homered and Gil Hodges collected three of the club’s 14 hits, including a home run in the 8-5 triumph. Snider's third and fourth home runs of the Series provided the support needed for rookie Roger Craig and the Dodgers took Game 5 by a score of 5-3.

Parekh, MA The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015 Supervising Professors: William Arcé, Timothy Morris, James Warren The first chapter of this project looks at media representations of two Mexican- born baseball players—Fernando Valenzuela and Teodoro “Teddy” Higuera—pitchers who made their big league debuts in the 1980s and garnered significant attention due to their stellar play and ethnic backgrounds. Chapter one looks at U.S. media narratives of these Mexican baseball players and their focus on these foreign athletes’ bodies when presenting them the American public, arguing that 1980s U.S.

    BroadcastNews PEPE AND HIS PARTNER Spanish-language broadcaster Yñiguez keeps his wife’s memory with him every day BY CARY OSBORNE sually before every Dodger game, Spanish-language broadcaster Pepe Yñiguez will have a conversation Uwith his wife, Margarita. He’ll tell her to look after their kids — two girls who earned their college degrees and flourished into accomplished women. He’ll ask her to give him the enthusiasm and energy to do his best. Then he’ll tell her goodbye and leave Rose Hills Memorial Park to go to work. “I’m always thinking of her,” said Yñi- guez, now in his 18th season as a Dodger broadcaster and the play-by-play man to Fernando Valenzuela’s color for SportsNet LA’s Spanish broadcasts. “She would al- ways tell me, ‘I know you can do it.’” It will be 10 years on December 27 since Margarita Yñiguez passed away after a two-year battle with cancer.
