Jack Flaherty vs. Gerrit Cole, 5p.
Recent presidential candidate news notwithstanding, McDonald's sure is getting a lot of press this October--and I suddenly realized that it's the Dodgers who have been challenged by the fast food giant throughout this 2024 postseason.
First we had to beat the San Diego Padres, a team once owned by McDonald's CEO Ray Kroc, and former home to the San Diego Chicken, who just might be related to Birdie.
Then, we had to defeat Grimace and the New York Mets.
And now, we get an opponent in pinstripes--evocative of the Hamburglar himself.
