Who knew? Who could even imagine?
When Andrew Toles stepped to the plate for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in the bottom of the first on April 7, doubling off Lake Elsinore’s Dinelson Limet and then scoring … how could anyone suspect he’d be in the big leagues three months and a day later?
Or that less than three months from then, he’d be a lock for the Dodgers’ postseason roster?
Certainly not Toles himself.
“I thought I was probably going to get cut” in spring training, he says now.
Yes, it’s quite a story.
