The 2025 MLB season ended in glory for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and in the moment of lifting the championship trophy, there was not only joy of victory, but also emotional tears for Alex Vesia, the mainstay of the bullpen, who was absent from the final series due to an important personal family matter.
Shortly after the game, Shohei Ohtani, MLB’s two-way star, sent an emotional tribute to Vesia:
“This victory is for Alex. He gave us the motivation to compete, reminded everyone that teamwork and sacrifice are the most important things. He deserves this title, and I hope everyone knows the great role he played in this journey.”
Ohtani’s simple yet emotional words silenced the entire Dodgers locker room for a moment. Vesia, despite not being on the field for the decisive games, was always watching, encouraging and energizing his teammates from afar. A team source said: “Alex was constantly in touch, giving tactical advice, giving moral support and making sure the bullpen was running smoothly. Those silent contributions were as important as any pitch on the field.”
Dodgers fans were quick to share the moment on social media, expressing their respect and emotion: “Even though he didn’t play directly, Alex Vesia was an indispensable part of the victory,” or “He is a living testament to teamwork and loyalty.”
Teammates could not hide their emotions either. “We won for everyone, but Alex in particular, he gave the team an incredible spirit. Every time we think of him, we want to win even more,” said one player.
The Dodgers, known for their team spirit, used this victory to pay tribute to Alex Vesia. The head coach and team members emphasized that, even though he did not play directly, Vesia was still an indispensable part of the championship journey: from practice sessions, tactical meetings, to the constant cheering.
The moment Shohei Ohtani mentioned Vesia, the locker room exploded: emotional eyes, hugs and smiles mixed with tears. It was not just a victory on the field, but also a victory in spirit, sacrifice and teamwork. Fans realized that baseball is not just about pitches, goals or titles, but also about heart, faith and silent support between people who stick together.
And as Ohtani said, this victory is for Alex Vesia – who silently sacrificed, inspired and helped the Dodgers reach glory. The words of gratitude, emotional eyes and pride were not only from teammates, but also from the MLB fan community, who witnessed a living proof: sometimes, silent sacrifice is the decisive factor in victory.
Alex Vesia was not on the field, but his spirit, heart and influence made the Dodgers 2025 championship more special than ever.
