National League Championship Series, Game 5, bottom of the eighth inning at Dodger Stadium. Yasiel Puig goes head-first into third base on a steal, pops up, spins in a circle and takes his helmet off to bow to the crowd.
Steiner’s slow roll from a giggle to guffaw blossomed into a sweet communal moment for those in need of relief, snarled in L.A. traffic on a late Wednesday afternoon and listening to the Dodgers radio broadcast.
Funny thing. It almost made us forget how, just an inning earlier, Steiner didn’t know which Milwaukee Brewers pitcher was on the mound.
