In his return to the starting lineup, Fowler went 1 for 5, smacking a home run in the eighth-inning and scoring three runs to boot.
Spin:
Boot was just what he wasn't wearing. His sore left foot hampered him not early on, as Fowler scampered the basepaths like a man-child and scored his owners (both real and fantasy) two runs early. Feeling his foot grow stubborn in later innings to the point that he could no longer run, Fowler dialed up Kirk Gibson. Literally, he dialed up Kirk Gibson and said, "Kirk! Kirk, it's Dexter. Your COUSIN, Dexter Fowler. You know that one-footed home run you been lookin' for? Well check this out!" And then Fowler proceeded to club a home run on his club foot so Kirk could see on how it's done, go back in time, and do the same in the 1988 World Series. So essentially, Fowler played a role in the 1988 World Series today.
