The pressure of winning a World Series already becomes seemingly unsurmountable playing in a sports mecca like Los Angeles. Dave Roberts decided to add onto the pressure guaranteeing a World Series championship national radio broadcast during Spring Training.
If history were to repeat in Los Angeles, that rings true to Lakers fans of the ’80’s when head coach Pat Riley guaranteed another championship following their title in 1987, the Dodgers should be in good hands of following the pressure. Of course this doesn’t necessarily mean the players were too happy with such a guarantee.
Luckily for Roberts and his team they have managed to silence any doubts as they look to become arguably the greatest Dodgers team in the history of the franchise.
