You don\u2019t find it anywhere else. There are no jobs where 37-year-olds can do that.

He won his first division title in 2008, as a rookie.\n\nOn this occasion, unlike the 2013 celebration where they jumped into the Chase Field pool, the team avoided the water, except when Shohei Ohtani hit a spectacular home run.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cYou can never take winning the division title for granted,\u201d said Freddie Freeman, who hit two home runs on Thursday. \u201cWe feel like we&#8217;re really starting to click.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<cite>Freddie Freeman<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe Dodgers, who reached 90 wins for the 12th consecutive season, will face a wild card series for the first time since the best-of-three round was added in 2022.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cYou only play this game for a limited time, so you only have so many opportunities to do this,\u201d Mookie Betts commented. \u201cI feel great. I really didn\u2019t do anything in the first half of the season, so I got a lot of rest and I\u2019m happy to help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<cite>Mookie Betts<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nDave Roberts has reached the playoffs in his 10 years as Dodgers manager, nine times as division winner. The team won the World Series last season.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cThis was expected. We did it, maybe a little later than we expected. But I&#8217;m happy with the way we&#8217;re playing,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI think we are better because of all the adversity and we are playing our best baseball now. What we have done before, it doesn&#8217;t matter. It&#8217;s more about trusting each other and playing for a championship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<cite>Dave Roberts<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dodgers Celebrate National League West Title with Bitter Taste Amidst the celebration of their 12th National League West title in 13 years, the Los Angeles Dodgers are preparing for a bittersweet season finale.
