Briggs: Orel Hershiser, Bowling Green, and a 'Hollywood' baseball story

BOWLING GREEN — In the grand history of our national pastime, Orel Hershiser has performed one of the greatest feats (59 scoreless innings) and been there for one of the greatest moments (Kirk Gibson’s home run in the 1988 World Series).

The Dodgers legend is no stranger to baseball magic.

But when it comes to not believing what he just saw — to adapt Jack Buck’s famed call of Gibson’s blast — not a whole lot has anything on the storybook his college alma mater is authoring this season.

It feels straight out of Hollywood.
