How long have you been a Dodger fan?

Akida: what are you talking about? Kirk Gibson! I’m Tommy Lasorda, baby!

How much did you pay for your ticket?

Akida: $900 We purchased our tickets from a third party. I asked my nephew how much I owe him, but he is such an amazing person. He’s like “Don’t worry, I got it!”

Was it worth it?

Akida: Of course it is worth it. We’re watching the Dodgers’ World Series. The flight cost more than $900. If you have it, it’s worth it. If you don’t have it, it’s not worth it – you can watch it on TV. If I was still in school, I would be seen on TV. But I’m a 53-year-old man, after many years of life, so I can spend $900 to see the Dodgers.

Aidan: This is probably my second or third game I’ve been to for the Dodgers. Being in the World Series, like the Grand Finals, I feel like it’s a great time to be here. I am really proud of my father, aunt and uncle who brought me here. I want to thank them.

Akida: Can we get a crying emoji?
