The Moments

The Dodgers 2018 season and postseason were filled with many extraordinary moments. Cody Bellinger was responsible for three of those moments. A terrific sliding catch in the crazy extra inning game four of the NLCS. Then there was his big home run in games seven of the NLCS that set the Dodgers up for another trip to the World Series. How about Bellinger’s rocket throw from center field to gun out Ian Kinsler at home in the Dodgers’ 18 inning World Series game?

Yasiel Puig delivered one of the more exciting home runs in game four of the World Series when he launched a rocket shot off of Eduardo Rodriguez. While the game’s ending was disappointing that was one of the most exciting parts of the Dodgers’ journey in 2018. While the ultimate goal came up short, be thankful for the journey.
