Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black's commute to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles was disrupted by a 5.2-magnitude earthquake that hit Southern California. Black, who lives in San Diego during the offseason, experienced items falling off shelves at his home due to the quake. Planning to take a train to Union Station for the series against the Dodgers, he had to opt for a ride share to the stadium after train delays caused by the earthquake, costing him nearly $200.
The earthquake, widely felt in the region, affected Black's travel plans but did not deter him from making it to the game. The Rockies had just concluded a series against the Padres in San Diego before Black's journey to Los Angeles was interrupted by the seismic event. Despite the unexpected detour, Black managed to reach Dodger Stadium in time for the game against the Dodgers, showcasing his adaptability in the face of unforeseen circumstances.
