MEXICO CITY, October 24 (EL UNIVERSAL).- Everything is ready for the start of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. Tomorrow, at Dodger Stadium, the two most popular franchises in the Major Leagues begin the path that leads them to the Commissioner’s Trophy.
The outcome of consecration in Major League Baseball (MLB) will be a true battle from power to power. On the Los Angeles side, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Max Muncy want to make their cannons thunder and keep the rain of sunflower seeds from stopping in the dugout.
The latter might sound like a metaphor, but it is not. The Angels, every time they hit a home run and reach the promised land, are greeted by a small shower of sunflower seeds, as part of the celebration.
But why do they celebrate home runs this way? It all started with Teoscar Hernández. The Dominican started this tradition when he was with the Seattle Mariners in 2023 and after arriving at the Californian team he decided to take it with him.
Home Run = a rain of seeds. This is how they have done it throughout the season and it has rained in the Dodgers dugout. Every time the person in charge of flying the ball returns to his place, he is greeted by a light throw of sunflower seeds into the air.
