In that short span, they had witnessed the evolution of a star from a boy drafted out of Overton High School in 2011 to a young man who played with poise and grace under pressure, whose irreproachable desire to win had propelled one of the greatest Red Sox teams of recent memory to a dominant World Series win over the Dodgers just sixteen months ago. Now only in memory would the number 50 jersey glide through the field in right and dash around the bases in Boston, the Red Sox faithful left to suffer the seemingly unforgivable decision by team executives to jettison one of the game’s best. It was October 20th, 1988, an all too distant memory for the Dodgers, the last time they had hoisted the Commissioner’s Trophy. They were a franchise in search of that final piece to push them to a title. They had made the playoffs seven straight times, their high watermark culminating in an excruciating Game 7 loss to the Houston Astros in the 2017 Fall Classic. And now as the news broke that Mookie Betts, who was not yet born when the Dodgers had last won a title, was headed to Chavez Ravine in a trade that shook the baseball world. Could this be it? Was Mookie the last piece to the championship puzzle? Fast-forward seven months and it is game six of the World Series, the Dodgers just one win away and nursing a two to one lead in the bottom of the eighth inning. Into the box steps Mookie Betts and on a zero and two count, he redirects a hanging slider, courtesy of the Rays’ reliever Pete Fairbanks into the left center field bleachers, leaving Dodgers fans to wonder with equal parts glee and apprehension if this could finally be their moment.
