Trayce Thompson is among Dodgers players representing their countries in the World Baseball Classic. The veteran outfielder was able to join Team Great Britain in the tournament thanks to his father, former LA Lakers’ standout Mychal Thompson being born in the Bahamas.
That connection allowed Trayce to play in the event and he capitalized, putting on a show against Team USA in his first match. Thompson connected on a solo home run in the first inning off long-time Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright, much to the surprise of every one.
With that homer came the first use of the home run crown.
