“Hopefully we only have to play 3 more.”
Los Angeles Dodgers utility star Kiké Hernández has a similar mindset to what presumably many fans are feeling after Game 2 of the World Series.
Whether the message that the new Dodgers all-time leader in postseason appearances sent to the Blue Jays was dealing more with keeping the foot on the gas after his team evened the series, and less about taking a shot at Toronto, Hernández was clear about where he wants to clinch the first back-to-back title in quarter-century, no less.
Even when Hernández was asked about playing in a game that made him the Dodgers’ leader in postseason appearances, he started off his response reminding the world about what is most important to him at this moment.
