Untold Stories on Dodgers' World Series Run with Mookie Betts, Dave Roberts | On Base, Ep. 32

3x World Series champion Mookie Betts is joined by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts for a special World Series episode to discuss the difference between winning a title as a manager vs. a player, Roberts dancing with Ice Cube, and why he felt the NLDS vs. the Padres 'was the World Series'. They also discuss why Roberts was afraid of coming back to Los Angeles for Game 6, how he managed Game 5 differently, calling out Walker Buehler in front of the team, his offseason wish list, why Freddie Freeman's walk-off grand slam is the greatest baseball moment they've been a part of, and expectations of running it back in 2025.
