Gavin Lux returned to Dodger Stadium for the first time since being traded to the Cincinnati Reds. Lux rose to become baseball's top prospect and won two World Series with the Dodgers. He missed the entire 2023 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee. In 2021 Lux crashed into the center field wall while attempting a running catch, sustaining a neck stinger and missing three games. Teammates and staff taped an outline of his body on the wall and tapped the spot before games as a joking tribute.
I felt it smash my face. I kind of like black out for a second and look up, and AJ Pollock is over me like, 'Hey man, are you OK? Are you OK?' And I'm like, 'Scherz is going to kill me, man.' Because Scherzer was pitching. Scherz is going to kill me. What a train wreck. My neck hurt the next day. That was embarrassing. And then they left it up for the game, for like two games. I'm like, 'Can we take it down, man? It's embarrassing.'
He's a littler thicker and shorter than me. I think it's hilarious. [Chop] was like, 'Can I do that?' I'm like, 'I don't care. It's a good way to make a joke about it.' Now looking back at it, we can joke about it. It's funny.
