Over the next couple of days, much will be written and blogged about the sweeping changes promised at today’s press conference by the new owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers, but here is a brief recap of the press conference in a nutshell:

Mark Walter:

“As much as this is a big day for us, (and) we’re very, very happy to be here, this is not about us. This is about the Dodgers, one of the most honored and storied franchises in history with limitless pride and potential. We are passionate about making this organization the best that it can be from every respect, from winning, from its relationship with the community, from all the philanthropic and other things that it can be a platform to help with. We know this is going to be hard work. And we also know it’s going to take time… but I promise you this commitment to work will be a labor of love.”

Magic Johnson:

“I just talked to the employees. It starts with you, because if you’re the best, it trickles down to the players on the field.”

“Yes, we’re in first place, but it’s early in the season, so we want to continue to support the team. We know we have the best pitcher in baseball in Clayton Kershaw and the best player in baseball in Matt Kemp.”

“We’re going to outwork everybody. I can’t wait until my office is done… I told my team, I’m a man who gets up early and will be here early.”

“Mr. O’Malley, thank you. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel, we just have to go back to the time where you had it before.”

“Chick Hearn used to call my games, the sweertst voice in basketball. And now I get the chance, the sweetest voice, I’m almost about to cry, and now I got Vin Scully.”

“General parking is going down from $15 to $10.”

Stan Kasten:

“The team, the fan experience and our relationship with our community. I assure you I could spend an hour on each of these subjects… and I’m just coming off a six-month gag order, so I’ve got a lot to say.”

“A culture of winning – for me, that has always started and ended with a scouting and player development system… both domestically and increasingly important, internationally.”

“The other commitment we want to make is our own personal availability and accessibility… You won’t have to look for me. I’ll be on the concourse.”

“Today I want to announce a special e-mail suggestion box: fanbox@ladodgers.com. We want to hear from all of you. Send us your thoughts and your suggestions… this is how we’re going to do it.”

“We’re going to liberalize our policy for access to batting practice. We’re going to have more access for autographs.  We’re going to do a lot more with social media… There will be times you will have players in full uniform greeting fans at the gate. The players understand why this is important. You never get any pushback – you just have to ask them.”

Vin Scully:

“Walking across the field with Ned Colletti, it seemed like just yesterday we were just introducing Joe Torre and the McCourts. And my mind began to wonder, and I realized I was there to see Branch Rickey hand off the franchise to Walter O’Malley.”

Rob Manfred:

“Dodger fans have stayed loyal through difficult times, and we know this ownership group will reward them for their support.”
