Dodgers go up 3-1 in the 9th!
Edit: And now its 6-1 with the three run dinger by Petersen! Looks like this game is over! Dodgers will tie the series 2-2!
With 8 White starters, are the Dodgers the whitest team in baseball? If so, this would really be a great year to have New England as Super Bowl champs and the Dodgers win the WS!
Riggins, I believe so. I admittedly don't watch every team, but I've caught a few Dodgers games this year. They've had a couple of other non-whites such as Granderson playing for them, but for the World Series, where everybody watches, they've had 8 white starters in every game. Having 7 out of 8 white (or 8 out of 9 in Houston) position players is amazing in today's game. As CS alluded to, a lot of them are stars, like Kershaw, Seager at SS, Bellinger at 1B, and Turner as the 3B. Plus Taylor in center field. That doesn't include all of their other good players like Forsythe, Utley, etc., plus the rest of their good pitching staff. Puig, closer Kenley Jansen, and Darvish are the only minorities of note who regularly play.
