Justin Turner, the champion Dodgers, and the understandable desire to live in the fantasy

COMMENTARY

Twelve minutes. That’s how long it was from Julio Urias throwing the final pitch of the 2020 baseball season by Willy Adames, the Los Angeles Dodgers finally winning the championship befitting the sport’s dominant regular-season team the last decade, to Fox’s Kevin Burkhardt looking solemnly into the camera to tell us Justin Turner’s late-inning removal from Tuesday’s Game 6 of the World Series was due to a positive COVID-19 test.

Quite the window. You could have easily turned the TV off in that time, gone to bed and tried to ready for another bleary Wednesday unaware.
