The Los Angeles Dodgers have been part of countless memorable moments throughout the franchise’s history, and perhaps one of the more improbable highlights involved Alex Cora on May 12, 2004.
With the Dodgers holding a 2-0 lead over the Chicago Cubs, Cora stepped into the batter’s box with a runner on first base and nobody out in the seventh inning. The plate appearance began with Cora taking the first three pitches, working a 2-1 count.
He then proceeded to foul off 14 consecutive pitches. By the time Cora fouled off the 11th pitch, the crowd at Dodger Stadium began to rise to its feet.
