There's nothing better than waiting for the right moment to take a shot.
The San Francisco Giants appeared to be sending a message to their Southern California rivals by announcing their promotional calendar on Thursday and scheduling Disneyland Day on June 30, which coincidentally hosts the Dodgers.
What else would you give as a gift for Disneyland Day? A hat with Mickey Mouse ears, of course.
While it may be debatable whether it's just a coincidence or the level of trolling that drew praise across the internet on Thursday, there's no denying the possibility of a connection.
The Dodgers won the 2020 World Series during the coronavirus-shortened season, in which each team played just 60 games (just over a third of the regular MLB schedule). And sports fans began to question the legitimacy of championships won during a pandemic.
The Dodgers won the title in 2020 by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in six games, but it happened during a season with no fans in the stands, leading Giants supporters to classify it as a “Mickey Mouse” title. I didn't hesitate.
and as Dodger Nation also pointed out, California's Disneyland is based in Anaheim, California, and if the promotion was meant to deal with opposing teams, it would make more sense to do so against the Angels.
The rivalry between the Giants and Dodgers dates back to the days when both teams were based in the Polo Grounds and Brooklyn, respectively.
That continued even after both teams moved to California.
The Dodgers have had a lot of regular season success over the past few years, but they only have one title to show for it.
It's another big offseason, and the Dodgers are in the conversation as a potential title contender.
They have made three major reinforcements, with Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Tyler Glasnow joining the 2024 roster.
