Almost everyone associated with a team that wins a major championship gets a ring. What would make it a class act is if they gave him the same r8ng as the players got. With their name and number and stuff
It’s also sensible. Sometimes people have talent and they’re never told by someone that’s credible. Tracking balls and having a good arm is easy to spot if you’re trained. Granted, he probably has no batting skills at that level and would be lucky to bat 0.050 but he had 2 good tools at his disposal which nets you a look.
Went to high school with him at Hollywood. I was on JV while he was in Varsity my freshman year. He was our best player then, great shortstop, switch hitter, surprised he never got a collegiate offer. Glad to see he’s still with the team!!
Yeah, he didn't fail at all. His job was as a bat boy/clubhouse attendant, not a MLB prospect. Where would've he been taught to hit??? ... which is likely why he never stood a realistic shot to be even considered for a prospect.
It's the beginning of a great movie. Hopefully he can have an opportunity to give it a proper ending.📽️🍿🎬 I'll definitely buy a ticket to that one....🎟️
I feel like they'd have to take a lot of creative license or it really wouldn't be much of a movie. And even then, it would basically be Rookie of the Year, but with a ball boy instead of a 12 year old kid.
It’s definitely very cool but it’s not like he made the team after that, he played one game, for free. That’s not a big enough payoff for a tv series. I mean, so the story is he loves and plays baseball his whole life and always gives it his all. He tries out for the team, doesn’t make it, but keeps at it, never gives up, and becomes their ballboy. Then, after 10 years he gets to play in one game. He kills it and plays great, and the next day he goes back to being a ballboy the rest of his life. Idk man.
@@tmobeygee5351 I understand your point.... Make it a movie then. It sure as hell would be more interesting than fast and furious 25 or whatever number its on now
I think a short is good enough. I mean it's awesome and glad he got that ring and all that, but why? A movie needs conflict. Hollywood would shoehorn some family drama, racial political BS, or create some life story about how he promise his grand mommy he would play for the Dodgers and she sees him in the game and cheers him on before passing on into the great beyond with the Virgin Mary herself embracing her tightly to her bosom. It was an intrasquad game... Again not hating and a cool story but let us not get ahead of ourselves - It would've been awesome if he got to go further honestly.
@@dianapennepacker6854 you think there was no conflict in this road to making this team? What about not being good enough to make the team as a kid. Not making the team in college. Not making the team in minor leagues or major leagues and deciding to sacrifice his dream to become a ball boy and patiently waiting for 15 YEARS just to get a chance to tryout and he STILL didn’t make the cut. Tell me that there’s no conflict in that story.
Yup they do and they also love there fans and also there staff this is why the dodgers are the best in baseball for there fans and there staff and just in general good as a team
@@shiniquajones2812I used to say they were the best franchise in sports history for breaking the color barrier with Jackie Robinson and integrating Dodger Stadium. Stories like this one with their bat boy. But yeah, welcoming that group was the worst move, an affront to Jesus Christ. Praying the Dodgers disassociate with that drag group, and “pride” entirely.
Great story - as a lifelong Giants fan it’s hard to admit when the Dodgers do something special. This is a fantastic story and I appreciate what the organization did for this man.
our team has a ball boy that plays semipro in the off-season, and one of our groundskeepers has a canon coaches and players were shook when they first saw it. lot of talented ppl in baseball.
@@bruhman5thfloor644 who the hell would lie about something so inconsequential and realistic? He’s a Hispanic dude named Chico with a job. He didn’t say he slept with Margot Robbie
You know pros respect the hell outta ya when they refuse to run against your arm. Chico just out there living his childhood dream, and a class act from the Dodgers to give him a ring too.
He's a real cool guy. My kids asked him for a ball after a dodgers game, and he was the only one who went out of his way to go get them one... literally turned around, went into a room, and came out with a ball.... bro is solid in my book.
The best kind of stories tbh. There was one about the Washington jets I think? A hockey goalie was sick and the backup wasn't around, a maintenence personall was a goalie but he hadn't played in like 20 years. They threw him in net and he went like 30 or 40- 10. An otherwise outstanding performance than acutely managed to win the game
Seriously. As a boy who's loved baseball for my entire life, this is incredible. I couldn't imagine how Chico felt. You know he loves the game as much as we all, do. I know at least as much as I do and I LOVVEEEEE baseball 🙏❤️
I've been a Dodgers fan for 60 years! I was at Dodgers Stadium on the day it opened on April 10th, 1962. I'm very proud of the fact that the Dodgers were the first team to integrate.
This is really nice of the dodgers for doing this for him and letting him play for the day or recruit him it would be good if they actually let him play on the team and I hope that Chico never stops and that he always keeps on going and achieves his goals and his dream I am happy for him and I hope the dodgers do let him play one day on there team
He gotta ring? That’s more than the entire population outside of baseball can say. Wow he got something some players never get. Phenomenal and really cool.
Honestly, from everything I've seen of this guy over the years, he's super loyal to the Dodgers. I don't think he would leave the team unless it was for a lot of money, like top of the league money, not rookie money
Coming from a rival SD Padres fan, this is fuckin incredible! Coolest story I’ve ever heard and what a feeling he must have gotten and a true dream come true. Much respect to the dodgers for letting this happen. 🫡
That is one of the most amazing stories ive ever heard...even if he didnt make the team full time he got to play and make two great plays...got a WS series ring...wow what a dream come true.
This is literally the scene of every rags to riches story of someone higher up going “well let’s see what the kid has” and he proceeds to decimate the game.
Chico deserves at least a 97 flashback card in the show 23
was about to comment the same thing lmao, give him 99 arm and fielding
That would be sick!
lmao 🤣
Facts!
hahahaha
Great recognition from the team by giving him a ring too. That’s a classy move.
Brings a tear to my eye 💛
Doesn't everybody on the club's staff get a ring anyway?
@@benjaminmorris4962 Select employees and staff get them, as well as players, and coaches, but its up to each team if batboys get them.
That's why i love the dodgers
Almost everyone associated with a team that wins a major championship gets a ring. What would make it a class act is if they gave him the same r8ng as the players got. With their name and number and stuff
This man out here living his dreams
Its motherfucking legendary
The guy looks like a Hispanic Justin Timberlake
@@scottwall8419i was thinking a hispanic orlando bloom
This is why baseball is the best. Awesome story. The Legend of Chico!
I bet he sure loves his job! And props to the player that suggested he get a try out spot. That was really thoughtful and classy of him.
Yeah it was I can see so many athletes that would be jealous and ruin his chances. + Hope in humanity
Wow😮😮😮😮
I agree!
@TRUMP2024 he's getting one either way. If they win the whole establishment gets one

That is awesome. Not a dadgers fan but giving him ring and letting him play was pure class.
I feel you on this one
Totally agree 💯

Real shit

Glad to see he’s still with the team!!
Cool
Get this man a contract
Yup 👍 they should
Bro needs more than a ring give bro a multi mil paycheck
The man didn't stop the grind even after failing. What an inspiration
379 likes and 0 comments let me change that
What a guy
You’ve probably gotta love the game if you work as a bat boy for 15 years lol
To be honest I wouldn’t even consider that failing 😅
Yeah, he didn't fail at all. His job was as a bat boy/clubhouse attendant, not a MLB prospect. Where would've he been taught to hit??? ... which is likely why he never stood a realistic shot to be even considered for a prospect.
Now that's a sports movie right there!!
It's the beginning of a great movie. Hopefully he can have an opportunity to give it a proper ending.📽️🍿🎬
I'll definitely buy a ticket to that one....🎟️
We will have to wait 20 years for the movie no matter the ending.
I feel like they'd have to take a lot of creative license or it really wouldn't be much of a movie. And even then, it would basically be Rookie of the Year, but with a ball boy instead of a 12 year old kid.
Clint Eastwood will make it . . .
For real
Bro was literally a 99 overall for that game😭🤣
Chico is “SO GOOD” he’s “NOT PLAYING!” Well that, and everyone is so terrified of him that they refuse to play if he is! What a talent!!
Most likely his talents were all fielding with no ability at the plate.
Do you understand that fielding is not an outfielder's only job?
The Brian Scalabrine of BASEBALL
I remember when they gave him the ring, he was so choked up.
Much deserved Chico, congratulations
Took a sc of this short. Def gonna be looking at the Dogers different now
So one of the Dodgers married their testie gargler? Just like Pretty Woman, so romantic
@@bwestacado9643try harder, kid
what ring? i didn’t get a ring
This is actually the most beautiful baseball story I have ever heard
Just like a movie
Lmao hahhhahahhaahhahahaha this wasn’t beautiful lol
I have to agree
It’s just proof of how easy baseball is. Any average Joe can compete with those so called athletes.
What about Jackie Robinson? Or is desegregation not beautiful
He got a ring?! Yooo, that's beautiful.
Chico is the nicest guy! He was always very nice to my son when he would ask for a practice ball. Great part of the organization!
had to change it to 667

Them giving him a ring is amazing, i’m not a dodgers fan but they’re a classy organization through and through
He even got a World Series ring? That’s amazing. He absolutely deserves it.
To be fair most clubs give their entire staff a ring when they win.
I mean technically he did play for the team so any player who was on that team that year would get one
Yea. Most everyone on the team gets a ring be it football or baseball!
@@demnbrown more than just players though!
Yeah I hear that even if you never play a game and get traded that year you still get a team ring 💍 for being apart of that class
Field of dreams for this young man! Well-deserved recognition!
Well deserved indeed 👍🏾⚾
These stories are what make sports so fun.
Chico is an incredible guy.
15 years and 1 game later, a legend.
He wasn't playing for the team he was playing and having fun maybe a reason he did so well pure smiles
There's a difference between this and what David Ayres did, he wasn't out there in uniforn for a live game, but it's still cool.
The Dodgers did the classiest move by doing that for him!
That's pretty wholesome ! Props to the Dodgers for giving him a chance !!
But did they?
And a ring to shit.
It was a marketing ploy
@@PeepGamePopoffYes, did you even watch the video? Smh
@@beetlejuice4357 you not catching my drift g it’s ok
Awewome story! I love it when the underdog rises to the top and shines.
Why did this make me teary eyed ??! This is awesome.
Because you actually saw n heard the real field of dreams. Got a MLB RING?! OH YEA.
Because they're putting stuff in city water to make dudes weak af
It’s good to see people live their dream.
There's no crying in baseball!
Because you're a part of the small percentage of humans who actually feel stimulated by genuinely great things amongst humanity. It's a good thing
The fact that he got a ring proves that some dreams do come true. Incredible!
beautiful
Everyone gets a ring its not that big a deal
All of the staff get a ring too
@@DB-dm2xm this is diffrent because he contributed on the field as a staff member its pretty neat...no ones saying hes babe ruth
This would make a great movie! Id love to see it
Salute to Chico for staying down and patient God bless him and keep him strong !
