LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – When the Los Angeles Dodgers took home their eighth World Series trophy last week, pitcher Gavin Stone joined a long list of baseball players from the Natural State who have been on a team that has won the World Series.
With the win, Stone, a native of Lake City and alumni of the University of Central Arkansas, also became the first Bear to be on a World Series-winning team.
