The Farmer in the Ravine

Kyle Farmer made quite the major league debut Sunday night. An old rookie at seasonal age 26, he pinch hit in the bottom of the 11th inning for the Dodgers. They trailed the Giants 2-1 with one out, when Farmer doubled to drive in two runs and win the game.

Farmer was a fairly unimpressive minor league hitter until recently. Finally reaching AAA, he was hitting .316/.363/.503. If he never plays another major league game, he’ll have a great story to tell about his first game, hit, and win.
