Dodgers: Alanna Rizzo shows off sweet World Series ring

Fans worried that the Los Angeles Dodgers might suffer from a World Series hangover after they captured their first championship since 1988 last season were swiftly silenced as the club stormed out of the gates to a 13-2 start.

Then, however, several key players suffered injuries and the Dodgers labored through a thrilling four-game set against the division-rival Padres and that sluggish performance continued into their three-game slate vs Cincinnati, which they ultimately salvaged in Wednesday’s finale.

Is anyone worried, though?

Like…really worried? Well, in hopes that the good vibes return on an extensive basis, why not share some news on a former beloved member of the Dodgers organization?

Former reporter Alanna Rizzo of SportsNet LA, who covered the club for seven seasons, was just presented with her World Series ring!

In the latest edition of MLB Network show “High Heat,” Rizzo, almost at a loss for words and feeling unworthy of the honor, showed off the championship bling and expressed her sincere thanks to the Dodgers franchise.

Former Dodgers reporter Alanna Rizzo showed off her World Series ring.

This is precisely the content fans in Los Angeles need with their club in a bit of a funk over the last couple of weeks. Not to take anything away from other reporters, but Rizzo was as adored (by both players and fans) as any non-Vin Scully media member covering the Dodgers we can remember.

As previously mentioned, Rizzo covered the Dodgers for seven seasons and was actually one of SportsNet LA’s original members before she decided to step away this past offseason. Before that, she did work with MLB Network for two seasons and has since returned to her former employer.

Unfortunately, however, the end of her run with the Dodgers was marred by controversy as Rizzo, in a revealing interview with the Orange County Register, opened up about multiple inappropriate advances from former Dodgers players, none of whom still play in the league.

It still doesn’t sit right that Rizzo’s relationship with the Dodgers ended in such a distasteful manner — though it was never confirmed that the harassment she endured precipitated her decision to leave — but at least fans can take solace in the fact that the excellent journalistic work she provided for close to a decade was rightfully honored with a World Series memento.
