As a retired coach, much respect for a 21 pitch at bat.

Right you are! This is why every time you watch baseball there is a high chance you will see something new you have never seen before. Baseball is not buried with rules upon rules. Clocks have no meaning. It is just throw ball, catch ball, hit ball.

What was the count? If it was 2 balls two strikes, or something like that, and not to far in the past, they would have dusted him off.

“Here buddy, see if you can foul this off.” And down he would go.

I would have loved to have seen that. I also like a good 1-0 game.

Well, then, here you are:

Alex Cora's homer on the 18th pitch

The immortal Vin Scully on the call. Prominent Dodgers included Dave Roberts, Adrian Beltre, Robin Ventura, Shawn Green...My guess of a dozen years ago was two years shy.
