Dodgers’ celebration after Kiké Hernández home run was out of this world

When Los Angeles Dodgers pinch-hitter Kiké Hernández drilled a game-tying home run in Game 7 on Sunday, the dugout erupted.

Never has “Let the Kids Play” been more universally accepted than in the Dodgers-Braves NLCS this week.

With every home run you saw drilled into the bizarre, swirling winds at the airplane hangar in Arlington, there was a fair amount of pimping, preening and staring involved from the man at the plate.

And it was totally a-ok with everyone.

We’re not sure if it’s the bubble atmosphere or simply the release of emotions from all parties during an extremely weird year, but players seem to be pretty alright with the unwritten rules being busted up during this postseason. That also goes for full team-wide coordinated celebrations, NFL-style.

Take the Dodgers on Sunday night, celebrating with Kiké Hernández after the diminutive slugger arrived back at the dugout following his crucial pinch-hit. It certainly seemed like the team was ready to let off a lot of steam, after battling a ton of pressure every step of the way this season.

Look at Joc Pederson, specifically, who basically served as Hernández’s greeter. Like, “OK, y’all, it’s cool, you can come and mob him.”

This was a team that knew — once the game was tied — that it was over. That they’d find a way.

And who could blame them for celebrating this dinger so powerfully? After all, even in a neutral site, that blast was one of the most clutch homers in the history of the game. Game 7 game-tying home runs just don’t happen that often.

And Davis’ didn’t even result in a series win!

When Clayton Kershaw takes the mound for Game 1 on Tuesday, you’ll be witnessing a looser Dodgers team than the past few years (and past strife-filled week). You can’t watch this coordinated celebration and not feel equally confident that a corner has been turned.
