Dodgers' waiver claim gets LA potential Justin Dean replacement from Braves

The Dodgers lost World Series folk hero Justin Dean to the Giants just a weak after they won their second consecutive championship. It wasn't exactly a heartbreak — Dean only played in 18 regular season games and came off the bench purely as a pinch runner or substitute outfielder in the postseason. But he'll always be remembered for throwing his hands up instead of grabbing a ball lodged between the dirt and the outfield fence in Game 6, which turned what could've been a game-tying extra-base hit for Addison Barger into a simple ground-rule double.
