Yeah, I’ll say it. Best series of the season, and maybe one of the best games of the year. It had everything: High-stakes pitching match-ups, glorious defensive plays, adventurous baserunning and a walk-off grand slam. What a gift.
And hey, speaking of gifts, Happy Father’s Day! Despite spending many, many afternoons and evenings scarfing Dodger Dogs at Dodger Stadium, my dad is not what anyone would classify as a baseball fan. But he tries, as he does with any number of things that the women in his life love (opera, poodles, fashion, etc.) to understand and engage. Not only that, but he was remarkably understanding of my need to disrupt his day with this recap.
