LOS ANGELES — Wheels up. It wouldn't be long now. Three epic home runs behind him and a historic World Series in front of him, Enrique Hernandez paused amid the champagne and chaos. Slow this moment down, he told himself. His eyes were red. His heart was full.
He was looking for a hug. He was searching for his father. On this night, it would be one-stop shopping. He hadn't seen him since the final out of the best game of his career, and one of the most memorable in the history of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
