LOS ANGELES — After Tuesday night, I will be able to say I have been at two consecutive Dodgers World Series games. They just happen to be 10,600 days apart.
Prior to 2017, my only World Series experience was attending Game 2 of the 1988 World Series, when Orel Hershiser won my 12-year-old heart with a shutout of the A’s.
Hershiser that night, only days removed from his 67 consecutive scoreless innings, and in the midst of a 63-day finishing stretch through the postseason that saw him post a 0.65 ERA in 124u2154 innings.
