It was a challenge for Josh Reddick to get to Dodger Stadium on Friday for his first home game with his new team after the right fielder was acquired with pitcher Rich Hill from Oakland on Monday.
What would normally be a 20-minute drive from Glendale to Chavez Ravine took an hour for Reddick, a self-described “southern guy from Georgia who is not used to traffic at all.” Even with the stadium in sight, Reddick said, “It took four entrances and three wrong-way turns to get in here.”
Reddick looked just as lost at the plate against Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright Friday night, but his misery had plenty of company.
