While Paul Goldschmidt remained his humble self in the post-game conference and chose not to focus on the milestone, let’s revisit how Goldy journeyed to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
For starters, things could be very, very different. In 2006, the Los Angeles Dodgers drafted Goldschmidt in the 49th round of the MLB draft.
Goldschmidt would look mighty different in Dodger blue, but thankfully he chose not to sign and opted to go to Texas State instead.
Three years later, in the 2009 draft, Goldschmidt was selected in the eighth round by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
