If you’re a fan who follows the history of the Dodgers closely (or if you’re a fan who personally witnessed the misery of not making the playoffs for a sixth consecutive season), you’ll remember that 2002 was pretty much the year of two players—outfielder Shawn Green and reliever Eric Gagne.
Green’s name was celebrated in baseball news recently, as Saturday was the 18th anniversary of the memorable game when he went 6-for-6 with four long balls and seven RBI in a 13-run pummeling of the Brewers.
On this date in 2002, the Dodgers' Shawn Green went 6-6 with 4 HR & 7 RBI in a 16-3 win over the Brewers in Milwaukee.
