Now why are you ruining the Rece Hinds moment with a Wily Mo reference? Let us dream for one day at least.

That's what I immediately thought of when I saw where the ball landed.  It was upper deck in deep left center field.  That's what I remember about Pena.  I don't really remember much else about him.

Just in Dodger pitcher Tyler Glasnow goes on the DL and has been replaced by Hunter Greene from the Reds. Congrats to Greene!
