For the most part, the Dodgers Jackie Robinson Day couldn’t have gone any better. There were touching tributes to the Robinson, wise words from David Robinson, Jackie’s youngest son, and as is tradition now, every player wore number 42. Plus, the Dodgers beat the Reds 3-1.
However, there was a moment where things got a little tense on the field. In the sixth inning, Dodgers pitcher Tyler Anderson accidentally plunked the Reds Joey Votto…on the head. Anderson’s pitch hit Votto right on the brim of his batting helmet. It could have been a lot worse, but luckily, Votto was okay.
