Dave Roberts has now won two World Series as a manager. Tommy Lasorda also won to World Series as a manager. Derek Jeter wore the number 2 for the New York Yankees.
if you take the number of World Series Tommy Lasorda won, and subtract the number of World Series that Dave Roberts won, then add the number that is on Tommy’s jersey then subtract the number that is on Derek Jeter’s jersey you get: 2 - 2 + 2 - 2 = 0.
Which is the number of World Series the San Diego Padres have won.
That's going deep in baseball numerology.
I enjoyed the Kobe connection numerology that came up after going up 3-0, which harked back to when he famously said "job's not finished". So this was the Dodgers 8th WS win in the year '24, Kobe's two jersey numbers.
