Charlie Culberson was an unsung hero for Dodgers in the NLCS

I’m not sure if enough can be said about the job Charlie Culberson did in the National League Championship Series. Faced with an impossible task for filling in for an injured Corey Seager, Culberson started three of the five games against the Cubs at shortstop, and contributed all over the field.

Culberson already had a place in Dodgers’ lore secured with his division-clinching home run in Vin Scully’s final home game in 2016. Now, he just added to his LA legacy, by channeling his inner Mickey Hatcher.

Culberson was 3-for-5 with a triple in the clincher on Thursday night, and had an extra-base hit in each of his three NLCS starts.
