Walker Buehler got engaged during the pandemic-caused spring shutdown, and with his two future brothers-in-law, he spent time building three decks at their ol' Kentucky homes. One each, at his house and theirs.
Though far from where Buehler will be spending his next few months, the work in Kentucky mirrored, in a way, his organization's ongoing gallop toward what it hopes will be its first World Series championship since 1988. As the page turns following three consecutive bitter season endings, both the romance and the construction continue for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
So close, yet so far away, so many times.
