The last play Vin Scully ever before called at Dodger Stadium was a beauty. On September 25, 2016, the Dodgers had a magic number to secure the department of one, and also they tackled the Rockies inLos Angeles The Giants, in 2nd location in the NL West, were playing the Padres down in San Diego in a video game that began thirty minutes after the Dodgers/Rockies video game.
LA and also Colorado were connected, 2-2, mosting likely to the 9th inning, however with 2 outs and also a 1-2 matter, Kenley Jansen permitted a permission crowning achievement to David Dahl to place the Rockies ahead. In all-time low of the 9th, the Dodgers were to their last out after Adam Ottavino set out Andrew Toles and also Justin Turner, however Corey Seager tore a laser down the right-field line that removed the wall surface in right to re-tie the video game.
That established the heroics. After Joe Blanton pitched a rough however scoreless top of the 10th inning, Los Angeles pertained to bat. Meanwhile, in San Diego, the Padres had actually taken a 4-3 lead over the Giants on a Manuel Margot three-way and also a Wil Myers solitary, and also they were heading to the 9th inning. The impending concern was whether the Dodgers would certainly secure the department while still playing additional innings.
Charlie Culberson really did not care a lot for that concept. The 27-year-old journeyman, in his initial period with the Dodgers, pertained to bat with 2 outs and also no one on after Chris Taylor lined out and also Kik é Hernandez Struck out versus left-handerBoone Logan On an 0-1 pitch, this took place:
“0-and-1 to Charlie. Swung on, and a high fly ball to deep left field, the Dodger bench empties, and would you believe a home run? And the Dodgers will clinch the division and will celebrate on schedule.”
That minute made Culberson a for life follower preferred inLos Angeles LA profession him to the Braves after the 2017 period, and also he invested 3 periods in Atlanta and afterwards 2 years with theRangers Now he’s heading to the American League East,
