In a move that will delight fans, the Los Angeles Dodgers are set to commemorate one of the most thrilling moments in recent World Series history with a special bobblehead giveaway. On September 6, the team will honor Andy Pages and Kiké Hernández for their unforgettable play during Game 7, an iconic moment that has since been dubbed “the catch.” This announcement was made via the Dodgers’ social media channels, generating excitement among the fanbase.
The bobblehead captures the dramatic scene of Pages reaching over Hernández, glove extended, to snag a deep fly ball hit by Ernie Clement of the Toronto Blue Jays. This pivotal moment unfolded in the bottom of the ninth inning at Rogers Centre, with the bases loaded and the Dodgers clinging to a narrow lead.
As Clement launched a curveball from Yoshinobu Yamamoto into the power alley between left and center field, Hernández took off in pursuit. Just as the ball sailed over his head, Pages, who was trailing closely behind, collided with Hernández. Incredibly, despite the impact, Pages managed to secure the catch, holding onto the ball even as he crashed into the outfield wall, securing the third out and sending the game into extra innings.
Hernández later reflected on the moment, initially believing they had misplayed the ball and that the Blue Jays would walk off winners. It wasn’t until Pages checked on him that he realized they were heading to extra innings. The Dodgers would go on to win the game, with Will Smith hitting the decisive home run in the top of the 11th inning, solidifying their status as back-to-back World Series champions.
Given the significance of this catch and Hernández’s popularity among fans, those hoping to snag the bobblehead should plan to arrive early at Chavez Ravine on the day of the giveaway.
