The Los Angeles Dodgers open the 2026 MLB season as reigning back-to-back champions. According to their new Opening Day video, narrated by a famous fan, they also open as this season's definitive 'bad guy' to kick off the proceedings.
While hope is high across MLB, the boos will be at the ready for any opposing fan base for the boys in blue. The Dodgers, along with the rest of the league, released hype videos to excite their respective fan bases. For LA, the goal was to also fan the flames of vitriol.
"What's wrong with being the bad guy," actor and longtime Dodgers fan Jason Bateman wonders. "If being the best makes you bad, then so be it."
The Dodgers won their Secon d World Series in a row after besting the Toronto Blue Jays in an unforgettable Fall Classic.
LA has not only won the World Series in three of the last six seasons but has also been to the playoffs in 13 consecutive years. Predicted to take the NL West again, that streak is expected to continue with roster additions like Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz.
