It might sound harsh, but I don't care about division titles. I care a little bit about pennants - you can't play in the World Series unless you win the pennant, right? So, at age 45, I am too young to remember winning in 1981. I remember 1988 (I was 12) and I obviously remember 2020. I remember losing in 2017 (brutal at the time; even worse later) and 2018 (not as painful because we got crushed).
Instead of the division titles (meh), pennants and World Series championships, what I appreciate RIGHT NOW is that the Dodgers have the talent to win each year. It's probably like the 1950s - the talent was there but most of the time they just didn't get it done. Well, hopefully we get it done this year.
I also appreciate we have an ownership group willing to spend to field a great team. I only with George Steinbrenner was alive to funnel more money into the Yankees to make them more competitive. Because what we all want - Dodger and Yankee fans, MLB certainly - is a Dodgers vs. Yankees World Series.
