Dodgers Broadcaster Howie Rose Expresses โฃDisappointment Over โฃSandy Koufax‘s Seating at World Series
Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Howieโฃ Rose publicly voiced his โdispleasure Tuesday night regarding the seating arrangement at Game 3 of the 2025โค World Series, specifically the placement of Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax behind Prince Harry and โฃMeghan Markle. The incident sparked immediate โreaction online, with โmany fans echoing Rose’s sentiment โคthat a baseball icon deserved a more prominent position.
The seating choice, occurring atโ Dodger Stadium on October 27, 2025, โhas ignited a debate about prioritizing celebrity status over honoring โฃbaseball legends. Koufax, a Dodgers icon who โขled the team to multiple โchampionships and threw a perfect game in โฃ1965, was relegated to the second row while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex occupied front-row seats. Lakers part-owner โMagicโค Johnson was โalso seatedโค in the second row. This โขsituationโ underscores โthe increasing influence of celebrity culture within major sporting events โand raises questions aboutโข respecting the history and figures that built those โคtraditions.
Rose’s comments came during the broadcast,โค quickly gaining traction on social media.โ “I’m just saying, I don’t get it,” he reportedly stated, expressing his frustration with theโค arrangement.
Gameโฃ 4 of the โคWorld Series, whichโค saw the Toronto blue Jays tie the series at 2-2,โ also drew a star-studded crowd including LeBron James, brad Pitt, Sydney Sweeney, and Flea ofโค the Red โHot Chili Peppers. Markle shared photos andโ videos from the game onโค Instagram, โคincluding a post with Johnson and a video labeled “Date night.”
