Rookie goes to Church for inside the park H.R.
Dodgers rookie third baseman, Blake Dewitt has really started to make a name for himself.
The 22 year old 2004 draft pick hit his first major league homerun Monday night in L.A. off Mets starter Oliver Perez and then on Tuesday, hit an inside the park homerun that went just beyond Met outfielder Ryan Church, as he bounced off the wall and onto the warning track. Watching third base coach Larry Bowa waving in Dewitt was just as entertaining as the homerun itself.
Dewitt took over the third base job with no experience in the big show.
It all started when Nomar Garciaparra broke his hand and Andy Laroche shredded a ligament in his hand, then, Tony Abreu landed on the disabled list with a strained right groin, that opened the door for the youngster from Sikeston, Mo
It’s always good to see a rookie hit his first homerun. But if you’re a Met fan, the past two nights have been brutal to watch as the Dodgers have already taken two out of the three game series that concludes with a 3:10 start today in Los Angeles. That was the Dodgers first inside the park homerun since 2003.Can any of you Dodger fans out there name the player to do it? Feel free to comment me with the answer and to torment me about the Mets. I am having flashbacks from the 1988 NLCS,and a guy Mike Soscia.
