Tommy Edman's father gets teary-eyed following slugger's heroics

Tommy Edman's father and former baseball coach at La Jolla Country Day School, John Edman, got emotional while sitting in section 105 of the Loge level of Dodger Stadium.

“We definitely got a little teary-eyed,” John said. “I mean, it was obviously a hard season for him with the injury not knowing when he was going to be ready, and I think he was pretty frustrated. For it to turn out like this is so special.
“When he hit the double, we went nuts. When he hit the home run, the whole section went nuts. And the MVP chants … that blew me away. It was amazing.”

For Edman, the best moment from the series came when he walked up to the plate, three hitters after Shohei Ohtani, to MVP chants.

“Yeah, I could hear them — it was crazy,” Edman said. “Definitely nothing I ever expected. To be in this situation is pretty wild.”

Tommy Edman has never won the World Series, but to do so this season will be a fantastic personal milestone.
