Dodgers: Watch Stadium Organist Dieter Ruehle Troll Carlos Correa After Strikeout

Two of the greatest moments of Carlos Correa’s life have come on the field at Dodger Stadium, both on November 1, 2017. After Correa and his Astros teammates finishing banging their way to a W*rld S*ries title, Correa got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend Daniella.

Five years later, Correa and Daniella are presumably still married, but everything else about that night has been tarnished beyond repair. All of baseball and the world now knows that Correa and his teammates engaged in an unprecedented cheating scheme to reach and win the World Series. It’s the legacy they chose, and it’s the legacy they will have to live with.



Correa, in particular, has been a target of Dodger fans’ wrath. It’s not just that he cheated; it’s that he cheated and then got all indignant that people were upset about it. He said in an interview with Ken Rosenthal that Cody Bellinger and others who were upset about being cheated out of a World Series title should “shut the f*** up,” which reminds me of another time when I had this pot and it called my kettle black.

So it was that Correa showed up at Dodger Stadium the last two nights with his new team, the Twins. When Correa and the Astros came back to town last season, there were a lot of boos, but they were spread among several players.

In this Twins series, Dodger fans were able to focus it all on Correa, including the largest crowd of the season on Wednesday night who came to Dodger Stadium to show love to Freddie Freeman on his bobblehead night and figured, heck, while we’re here, we might as well let Carlos know what we think of him, too.

But it wasn’t just the fans! The two people behind the music at Dodger Stadium, DJ Severe and organist Dieter Ruehle, enjoy getting in on the act when a hated foe shows up, and Wednesday night was no different. After Evan Phillips showed Correa that guessing is harder than knowing, Ruehle serenaded the crowd with a verse of Ray Charles’ “Hit the Road, Jack.”

Hit the road, indeed. Correa and his new teammates left L.A. with their tails between their legs, just the latest team to be swept by the Dodgers.
