  • What sort of person dislikes mascots so much that they get one ejected during a game, let alone pick fights with three different Hall-of-Fame worthy mascots? Well, Tommy Lasorda. During a 22-inning game (that finished 1-0), Lasorda took out his frustrations on Youppi! the beloved Montreal Expos walking celebration.
    In a game where the only excitement was coming from Youppi!, it was a trash move that we at SB Nation don't support. But, we will celebrate it.

    Dodgers had a bunch of long games that season. There was another 22 inning game in June at Houston. At the end it had Eddie Murray at 3B (not that unsual, as I think he had played there before, maybe also in HS and the minors), Fernando Valenzuela (yes, him) at 1B, and reserve infielder Jeff Hamilton pitching. At one point, I think a pop fly was hit toward 1B, and Fernando caught it. Hamilton did a decent job, 1 2/3 IP,2 hits, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts (one was of Ken Caminti, who proceeded to break his bat over his leg as he walked back to the dugout. Gave up one run, alas it was the winning run in the bottom of the 22nd. They showed Hamilton after the hit, you would think he had just lost the last game of the World Series 😢 Poor guy. Orel Hershiser pitched 7scoreless innings in relief, it was him that Hamilton replaced. I wonder if it took a toll, as, IIRC, the following season he was out most of the year with an arm injury. The day after that it was a 15 inning game (Astros won that one too, winning pitcher for the Astros was starter Mike Scott.
    The Dodger pitching staff was in such disarray that they called up Ramon Martinez who pitched the next game at Atlanta. He proceeded to throw a 6-hit shutout. Alas, the Dodgers had roster problem, as a player or two were coming off the DL, so his reward for his masterpiece was an optioning back to Albuquerque 😮 (He was recalled later in the season, this time for good, and went on to be the Dodgers best pitcher in 1990, winning 20 games. Eventually, his younger brother Pedro joined him on the Dodgers, not sure whatever became of him 😂

    Why did I think of Kofie when they said someone at SB Nation had been a mascot

    Turns out that fighting Tommy Lasorda is actually the final requirement for a baseball mascot to make it to HoF
