I acknowledge that I can’t hold a candle to legendary Dodger photographers Jon SooHoo and Juan Ocampo nor will I even try, but here are some photos from Saturday’s On Field Photo Day event.

Puig gives a special Dodger fan the shirt off his back
When Alex Solis Jr. learned that he was going to the Dodger game on Saturday, July 13, he was extremely excited, almost to tears, in fact. Even though Alex lives only about an hour away from Dodger Stadium in Thousand Oaks, CA, he can’t just jump in his car and head on over to Dodger […]
(Read More)The other reason for the Dodgers recent success
Over the past sixteen games, a day hasn’t gone by where there hasn’t been something written about the incredible offensive numbers that the Dodgers have put up – especially those of Yasiel Puig and Hanley Ramirez. I mean it’s pretty hard to miss when the team is averaging 6.4 runs per game and has a […]
(Read More)Who is the captain of the Dodgers ship?
Yesterday, on one website, I came across the following question: “Who is the Dodger captain?” The question was answered with only a suggestion that it could be Matt Kemp or Andre Ethier. I expect for many Dodger fans the question brought back memories of – “The Captain” – Pee Wee Reese. “Harold Pee Wee Reese […]
(Read More)The Puig Factor – A lot more than just a T-shirt
On Wednesday it was reported (on Twitter) that Tuesday night’s KCAL 9 television broadcast of the game between the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks attracted the largest viewing audience for a regular season Dodger game on any local broadcast or cable outlet since a game between the Dodgers and Giants in August of 2007 when Barry Bonds was […]
(Read More)Reading Between the Lines of Dodger Medical Reports
Below is Dylan Hernandez’s article in the Los Angeles Times about Matt Kemp’s latest shoulder injury. I’ll interject with what I perceive to be the “between the lines” truth. Note this is my uninformed opinion based on experience of following the Dodgers for years, nothing more than that. Hernandez: “PHOENIX – Matt Kemp underwent a […]
(Read More)Ricky Nolasco – Just what the doctor ordered
Like many Dodger fans, I was a bit skeptical when it was announced the the Dodgers had acquired veteran right-hander Ricky Nolasco from the Miami Marlins late last week. Sure, I was aware of many of Nolasco’s accomplishments during his 8-year major league career with the Florida/Miami Marlins, such as the fact that he was […]
(Read More)#VotePuig
As I have mentioned previously, I rarely get involved in the hoopla of the All-Star game. But this year is different. I want Yasiel Puig to play in this game. You should too. Let’s get out the vote in these last minutes for #VotePuig. This is an All-Star game. You want to see the STARS! […]
(Read More)Zack Greinke loves to hit
(Note: This article was originally posted on July 9, 2013) I remember it as if it were yesterday – It was Sunday, December 9, 2012 and I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of my neighborhood Cold Stones enjoying a strawberry cheesecake ice cream listening to a replay of MLB Network’s ‘Inside Pitch’ with Casey […]
