“I guess it’ll be nice to be in that stadium and not get booed.”
He then took a joking jab at Dodgers fans and how they’ve handled his many return visits to Dodger Stadium since he and LA parted ways following the 2020 world championship season.
“About three days later, they’ll probably switch it up and start booing me again. It’s all good, I get it.”
