My point is if you want to cherry pick a year 2020 is a year where no team went through a 162 game season so the grind is less, the injuries may be fewer (definitely fewer chances) and the rosters are larger than I can remember so that alters the stats.
Nowhere did I say the Dodger's weren't the Champions, the point is if you want to compare history then recognize the differences when comparing stats. The Dodgers carried 15 pitchers, they had a deeper better bullpen. Being able to carry 3 more players alters game strategy, not having to hit a NL pitcher eliminates the switch a bench player when the pitcher comes to bat. It was a different year which makes statistical comparisons between years different.
Enjoy you championship, go to the parade when they can have one. Your team is the WS winner.
I have watched them win live in 88 and a little bit on TV in 2020. I was rooting for the A's in 1988 since I was born in Oakland, although they came along much later than the Giants. I will always root against the Dodgers. Its a natural rivalry going back to before both teams moved here
