Pederson misses baseball immortality by inches
June 5th, 2015 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka Even though Thursday night was Kenley Jansen Bobblehead Night at Dodger Stadium, there’s a pretty good chance that many of the 45,058 in attendance came to the ballpark for another reason – to witness something that has never been done before in baseball history.
