NL West Watch: Dodgers throttle Reds 8-3
LOS ANGELES -- John Lamb was waiting to make his major-league debut for the Cincinnati Reds when he spotted Vin Scully on the video board talking about him and his grandfather.
Scully mentioned in his game preview that Lamb's grandfather John Ramsey used to be the Dodgers' public address announcer. Lamb was born six months after his grandfather died in 1990, having spent 26 years behind the mic.
"I was taking it all in and trying to embrace it," said Lamb, who lost 5-3. "It was definitely a surreal moment. I definitely felt like I was dreaming."
Adrian Gonzalez spoiled Lamb's debut by hitting a three-run homer with two outs in the fifth inning that put the Dodgers ahead for good.
