Hosting the Kansas City Royals for the first time since 2003, the Los Angeles Dodgers have given their fans plenty of reason to cheer thus far in the three-game series. Saturday wasn’t any different, as Cody Bellinger drew a walk-off walk in the 10th inning.
While the contest was an entertaining affair with late scoring from both teams, it was accompanied by an overzealous fan who twice was shown on the videoboard. The Dodgers stage various contests and on-screen shots as part of their in-game entertainment.
That took a twist in the seventh inning when an elderly woman dressed in a blue shirt and wearing a Dodgers visor was shown dancing to music playing throughout the stadium.
The crowd cheered for her, then burst into laughter when the woman quickly lifted her shirt to flash the camera. The camera feed was immediately cut, but not before the announced attendance of 45,225 got more than they may have bargained for.

“It was the rally granny,” Bellinger joked after the game. “Some of my teammates were talking about it a little bit. You don’t see that much at a baseball stadium.” Bellinger was not among the few Dodgers who watched the incident unfold.
“I heard about it from some of my players,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said with a laugh. “I guess they said I had a missed opportunity.”
