In Game 4 of the MLB World Series, the New York Yankees came from behind to win and achieved a decisive victory.
We asked MLB journalist AKI Inose what would happen if the Dodgers won the game on the 31st with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.

If you win, the victory ceremony will be held on the ground, even though it is enemy territory.
For Otani, there will also be the 4th “champagne fight”, “victory parade”, and “distribution”.

First, let’s talk about the parade.

According to AKI Inose, the parade will be held two to three days after all decisions are made.
If the Dodgers win, there will be a parade in Los Angeles, but in 2020 the parade could not be held due to the coronavirus, so it will be the first time since 1988 that the parade will be held in downtown Los Angeles.

In AKI Inose’s perspective, there is only a 3.2km distance between downtown and Dodger Stadium, so the route would probably start from City Hall, go around the Chinese Theater where the Academy Awards ceremony is held, and then go to Dodger Stadium. I think it will happen.

And about the “distribution money” to players.

When postseason broadcast rights fees, merchandise, and other proceeds are collected, they are distributed as a percentage to the players of all teams that participated in the postseason, not to the winning team.

The winning team receives the most, and 2024 is said to be the match of the century, and with revenues increasing, it is said that the distribution amount will probably exceed 100 million yen per player for the first time in history.

In fact, it is said that the allocation of dividends is decided solely by the players.

At the end of the regular season, the clubhouse suddenly shuts down, and not only managers, coaches, and the media, but also interpreters for players, are prohibited from entering or exiting the clubhouse.

It is said that a meeting is held among the players to decide things like, “Coach, you worked really hard this year, so let’s give the coach 10 million yen,” or “Otani was a good interpreter, so let’s give him 10 million.”
