Saturday Bird Droppings: World Series opens with a bang
Good Morning, Birdland!
That baseball game last night was pretty cool! It came down to the exact scenario that every baseball-loving kid reenacts in their backyard growing up. And the homer was hit by a somewhat-hobbled Freddie Freeman. It may not usurp Kirk Gibson’s legendary walk-off bomb in Game 1 in terms of Dodgers lore, but it’s in the realm.
The win sets the Dodgers up quite well moving forward. On a day where Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was very good, the hosting Dodgers were able to persevere and win anyway. Now they send their top healthy pitcher, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, to the mound with a chance to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the World Series.
