Source: KTLA News
The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated as Cody Bellingers drive soared deep into the Texas night. Bellinger flung his bat off to the side and strutted up the first-base line. All the way to the World Series.
Bellinger hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning, and the Dodgers advanced to the Fall Classic for the third time in four years by topping the Atlanta Braves 4-3 in Game 7 of the NL Championship Series on Sunday.
This year is our year, manager Dave Roberts said.
Bellinger connected an inning after Kiké Hernández became the first pinch hitter with a game-tying or go-ahead homer in a winner-take-all-game. His homer tied it at 3 and, like Bellingers, came on the eighth pitch of the at-bat.

Yes, I know the history of Chavez Ravine well.
I took care of a patient who'd be about 97 if she were still alive, and the memories of how her family and many other families were "removed" were horrible, and she never got over it. There was and still is so much shame connected to "How" Chavez Ravine was conceived 'for' baseball.
