Justin Turner Stealin' Dodgers Congratulatory Shine

Instead of celebrating the Dodgers the day after they won their first World Series in 32 years, everyone was talking about third baseman Justin Turner and how he violated Covid safety protocols. It was learned that Turner had tested positive for the Rona and he was pulled from the game during the seventh inning and isolated in a doctor’s office. Once the Dodgers sealed the victory he returned to the field, wearing a mask, to celebrate with his team. No Rona didn’t magically go away. He was still positive, less than an hour after being pulled from the game. At some point during the celebration, he took the mask off and refused to leave the field. This is such a 2020 story. I have words but I feel like I’ve wasted too many already on Turner already. So I will end this by wishing congratulations to the Dodgers. on their well-deserved victory (ESPN)
