‘A thrilling first act:’ Ron Howard voices World Series hype video ahead of Game 1

<!–>

“Like every great story, it all starts with a thrilling first act.”

That’s how Ron Howard helped set up Game 1 of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers in a special video that aired on FOX on Friday night.

And who would know better than Howard, the famous director, producer, screenwriter and actor who has been helping tell epic tales since he was less than 10 years old?

The video actually starts with a dramatic, deep voice talking about how both teams are on the precipice of greatness — before there is a twist. Howard interrupts, calling “cut” and declaring that the hype video “isn’t working.”

The director then explains what makes this series so great, starting with “larger-than-life heroes,” as exciting clips play of Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge in action.

He then talks about the history behind two of MLB’s most-storied franchises, before moving on.

“But what really keeps you hooked, is the drama,” Howard says. “It’s the action, the kind that keeps you on the edge of your seat.”

And of course, Howard points out, fans always have to expect the unexpected on the way to a “triumphant ending.”

Dodgers to honor Fernando Valenzuela with No. 34 uniform patch

<!–>

Fernando Valenzuela will be honored by the Los Angeles Dodgers with a patch of his No. 34 on team uniforms during the World Series and the 2025 season.

Valenzuela, the 1981 NL Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Award winner, died at age 63 on Tuesday, one day shy of the 43rd anniversary of his 147-pitch complete game that led the Dodgers over the Yankees in World Series Game 3. After losing the first two games at Yankee Stadium, the Dodgers won four in a row for their first title since 1965.

A six-time All-Star, Valenzuela was 173-153 in 17 seasons, including 141-116 with the Dodgers from 1980-90. His flamboyant presence triggered “Fernandomania”among fans, and he worked for the team as a broadcaster from 2003 through 2024.
