Immigration rights group urges Dodgers to skip White House visit after World Series win
There are a growing number of Dodger fans asking the team not to go to the White House after winning the World Series.
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia missed the World Series due to a "deeply personal matter," though his presence was still felt on the field. The Dodgers' bullpen wrote No. 51 on the side of their hats to honor him, and for Game 6 of the series, the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen responded by doing the same.
The Fox telecast of the Game 7 contest giving the Dodgers their second consecutive world championship attracted an average of 25. 5 million viewers on Fox. Viewers watching the Spanish-language telecast on Fox Deportes and Fox Sports streaming platforms brought the audience figure to just under 26 million.
