Rival fans have tried at every turn to discredit the Los Angeles Dodgers by making flawed comparisons of their financial advantage over nearly every team they faced off against in their quest to repeat as World Series Champions.
First, it was the Cincinnati Reds, then the Milwaukee Brewers, and even in the lead-up to the World Series, propaganda painting the Toronto Blue Jays as some sort of small-market runt began to pop up.
The fact of the matter is that nearly every team out there could replicate what the Dodgers do to a degree if they so chose, but many prioritize profit over pennants and rings.
