He later repeated the chant while imitating David Ortiz, shouting it again during a clubhouse interview with Spanish‑language media and in a post‑game interview with TNT’s Lauren Shehadi.
Caminero, a two‑time All‑Star, finished the series hitting .300 with three hits. He told Shehadi he was “the best in the world” and exclaimed “The best! The best! Sweep!” after the final out.
