Through the general miasma of negative feelings I got when I first heard about the Paul Goldschmidt trade, it hit me that I had attended his last home game as a Diamondbacks in person. According to the box score, he went 1-4 against the Dodgers with two strikeouts. Not a lot of fanfare. No chance at a standing ovation, a thank you for giving your all for eight years to a team that didn’t always deserve it. Just another game in the season. Ho hum.
We don’t always get the endings we want.
