On May 12, 2004, Alex Cora captivated Dodger Stadium with a remarkable at-bat, fouling off 14 pitches before hitting a two-run homer, extending the team's lead over the Chicago Cubs. This moment solidified Cora's place in Dodger history, marking a crucial victory that improved the Dodgers' record to 22-10. However, Cora's legacy became complicated after his involvement in the Astros' sign-stealing scandal tarnished his reputation and angered Dodgers fans, overshadowing his earlier achievements. The game also marked the anniversary of Carl Erskine's no-hitter against the New York Giants.
"The crowd is loving it... You ever see so much excitement? And nothing has even happened. That's what's so funny about it."
"The Dodgers improved to 22-10, which was their best start since the 1983 club began the season 23-9."
