Muncy Sets Dodgers Postseason HR Record
It’s moments like these that really make you appreciate the game, isn't it? Watching Max Muncy step up and deliver, especially in the high-stakes environment of the postseason, is something special. On Tuesday night, he etched his name further into Dodgers lore, hitting his 14th career postseason home run. That’s a franchise record, folks, surpassing legends like Justin Turner and Corey Seager.
As reported by the sources, this wasn't just any homer. It was a towering 412-foot shot that extended the Dodgers' lead in Game 2 of the NLCS against the Brewers. You could almost feel the roar of the crowd through the television screen. Muncy himself acknowledged the significance, talking about how much it means to be part of a franchise with such a rich history. But what really struck me was his perspective. He emphasized that the real prize is simply having the *chance* to play meaningful October baseball year after year, a sentiment that speaks volumes about his dedication to winning a World Series.
It’s fascinating to consider the near misses too. Just the night before, Muncy had a drive that was agonizingly close to being a grand slam, but instead turned into an unbelievable 8-6-2 double play thanks to some crafty defense. He even admitted he thought the ball was caught in Game 2 initially, given how close center fielder Sal Frelick was to the wall. That’s the kind of tension that makes playoff baseball so captivating.
This all makes you wonder, what’s next for Max Muncy and the Dodgers? With records like these being broken, it’s clear they're playing with a fire that’s hard to ignore. Do you think this milestone is a sign of even greater things to come this postseason?
