World Series: What A Game!

Above, yours truly enjoying the game.

Last night's Game 2 of the 2017 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros was one heck of a ballgame.

I dug out my old Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap. I hadn't worn it for quite a while. It is a pro model that I bought when I practically lived at Dodger Stadium back in the early 1980s. It is 100% wool fabric with a stitched "LA" logo.

Game 1 was relatively sedate (and quick) in comparison. The Dodgers won that game 2 - 1.

Last night's game see-sawed from the sixth inning on. Finally, it was tied up and went into extra innings.

Unfortunately, I had to run an errand but kept tabs on the game. Jean Carbajal, "Mr. Godzilla Toys", was at the game and posted that he was losing his voice. I can just imagine.

From Sporting News:

Game 2 of the 2017 World Series reached legendary status around midnight Wednesday. 

Mintues after the Astros had dented the Dodgers' vaunted bullpen and taken a lead in extra innings, LA rallied for a pair of runs in the bottom of the 10th to tie the game. The teams played on at Dodger Stadium until Houston prevailed 7-6 in 11. 

The win was the first World Series triumph in Astros franchise history. Houston was swept by the White Sox in the 2005 Series.

The series is now tied at one win apiece. It resumes tomorrow night in Houston.

Before the game began, the ceremonial "first pitch" ceremony was a real treat. The participants were former Dodgers announcer Vin Scully, former Dodger catcher Steve Yeager and former Dodger Pitcher Fernando Valenzuela. See the video below.
