Max Muncy is now the all-time home run leader at Dodger Stadium. His pinch-hit blast off Antonio Senzatela during Thursday night’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers was his 131st career homer at the Ravine, breaking a tie with Eric Karros for the most in the ballpark’s 64-year history, per staff reports at MLB.com and DodgerBlue.com. Making the moment even better — Karros was on the broadcast call when it happened.

Muncy’s journey to this record has been anything but linear. He was a non-roster invitee with the Oakland A’s organization before the Dodgers plucked him up and gave him an everyday role in 2018. That year he exploded for 35 home runs with an OPS north of .970, and he’s been a fixture in the middle of the lineup ever since. He’s dealt with elbow injuries, offensive cold streaks, and even a recent bout of illness that he blamed for his struggles at the plate over the past couple of weeks. Through all of it, Muncy has kept putting the ball over the fence at Chavez Ravine with remarkable consistency. To accumulate 131 home runs in one park — passing a guy who played 11 full seasons as a Dodger — says something real about Muncy’s tenure and his power output at home.

Karros, for his part, was the 1992 NL Rookie of the Year and spent the bulk of his career in Dodger blue from 1991 through 2002. He hit 270 of his 284 career home runs as a Dodger, so passing him on any home run list is no small thing. Karros has been a fixture on Dodgers broadcasts in recent years, and the fact that he was calling the game when Muncy broke his record added a layer of poetry to the moment that you couldn’t script. I’d imagine Karros tipped his cap — that’s the kind of guy he is.

The pinch-hit element of this home run is worth a mention too. Muncy came off the bench and delivered in a big spot, which has been a theme for him at various points in his career. He’s never been the guy who sulks when he’s not in the starting lineup. He shows up, takes his hacks, and more often than not, he does damage. That mentality is part of why he’s lasted this long in a Dodgers organization that constantly churns its roster.

Senzatela, the pitcher who gave up the record-breaker, has had a long road back from Tommy John surgery and has been trying to re-establish himself as a viable big-league arm with the Brewers. He probably didn’t have “surrender a historic home run” on his Thursday night bingo card, but that’s how it goes sometimes.

For us as Dodgers fans, this is one of those milestones that sneaks up on you. Muncy doesn’t get the national spotlight the way some of our other guys do, but he’s been here grinding since 2018, and now he owns a record at Dodger Stadium that could stand for a long time. With the way this roster is constructed — players rotating in and out, big names coming and going — it’s hard to imagine anyone else stacking up 131-plus homers at the Ravine anytime soon. This one belongs to Muncy, and he earned every single one of them.
