Niko Goodrum doesn’t watch television, he said. He subscribes to Apple TV and only watches movies. Brandon Dixon doesn’t have cable, he said.
“If it’s not on Netflix, I’m not going to see it,” Dixon said.
Perhaps one day, when Netflix commissions a team of producers and directors to compile a Major League Baseball blooper reel, then Dixon will finally get a glimpse of what will go down as the defining play of the Detroit Tigers’ 2019 season.
In the top of the ninth inning of Tuesday night’s 11-6 loss to the Seattle Mariners, Goodrum – mostly an infielder playing center field – and Dixon – usually a first baseman playing left field – collided on the warning track in left-center field.
