This was the second consecutive walk-off win on Jackie night.
We really need to pick a nickname for Andre and stick with it, don't we?
I like "Mr. Walkoff".
Classic AND classy. The kind you can bring home for dinner.
"Captain Comeback?"
"The Walk-off Kid?"
"Senior Surprise?"
Dodgers remain undefeated on JR Day. I propose MLB designate 110 more JR Days throughout the season.
How about "Mr.Clutch"?
karen,
There will always be just one "Mr. Clutch."

At least for us old time Laker fans.
Did anyone notice what happened to Kareem during the pre-game? I noted him asking an attendant something (presumably a restroom or glass of water question) and then disappear. Then the ceremony started, and when Vin called #33's name, he wasn't there. Vin didn't skip a beat and finally when Kareem re-emerged, Vin re-introduced him in a funny sort of way. Methinks the ceremony may not have been planned as tightly as I would have done had I been in charge, but nevertheless it worked and was very moving. I wish more people would be in their seats for these gems.
I hope to acquire the nickname of "Sweet Lou" when I'm an old man. It's such a fine old man nickname, even if one's name isn't actually Lou.
A MoKM reader calls Andre "Blue Mamba". Heh.
