He said he believes he might have been killed without it.”It might have fractured my skull. It definitely could have been fatal. I am extremely lucky,” McAleer said.Cubs spokesman Julian Green said the incident occurred when a loose pin that rolled out of the scoreboard when a tile was being changed. The scoreboard is now secure, Green said.The Cubs have sent McAleer some gifts, including a jersey. McAleer praised the team for their quick response

Kershaw was off in both of his stars聽- struggling big-time against the Red Sox in games one and five.advertisingIn the postseason, Kershaw pitched 30 innings and struck out 26 batters, but he allowed four home runs and posted an ERA of 4.20. Kershaw finished with a record of 2-3 in the playoffs

Vasquez-USA TODAY SportsBut the Dodgers are simply looking at the regular season version of Kershaw. He went 9-5 with 155 strikeouts in 161.1 innings pitched and an ERA of 2.73. They're banking on more long-term success from the three-time NL Cy Young winner.In re-signing Kershaw, the Dodgers now have their top priority season out of the way. The goal now has to simply be to find another quality reliever and more bench players, because the Dodgers didn't have any production there during the World Series.advertisingThe Dodgers have now won six consecutive NL East division titles, but they only have two NL pennants and no championship rings to show for it. With Kershaw landing a major extension, he has to get over the playoff hump and find a way to end this team's 31-year World Series drought in 2019. The Dodgers are banking on him doing it.
