Over the past seven or eight years (or however long it has been since the Dodgers let Adrian Beltre get away), they have been unable to successfully fill the long-term void at the hot corner. Sure, they’ve had a few ‘just ok’ guys at third base since Beltre’s free agency departure in 2004, but they […]

Opening at the height of baseball season, the Craft and Folk Art Museum (CAFAM) presents Baseball: The All-American Game from May 26 through September 9, 2012. For the first time in Los Angeles, the public will have access to the largest exhibition of baseball-related traditional folk art since the American Folk Art Museum’s historic The Perfect […]

It would be unfair for me to say that Dodger catcher A.J. Ellis hasn’t performed beyond my expectations, in fact it would be an out and out lie – he does, after all, have the fourth best On Base Percentage (OBP) in the MLB (.442) and the 11th best average in the NL (.317); but […]

Dodgers utility infielder Justin Sellers has been placed on the 15-day disabled list for a bulging disc in his lower back that is causing numbness in his right leg. Although Sellers wouldn’t come right out and say that the bulging disc is the result of his dive into the stands after making an incredible catch two weeks ago, he acknowledged […]

The cover photo shows the pair standing behind home plate at Dodger Stadium with Kemp palming a basketball and a title reading “Magic Johnson and Matt Kemp are making L.A. […]

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dodger team historian Mark Langill while at Dodger Stadium a few weeks back. Mark has been with the Dodger organization for nearly twenty years and if you like talking Dodger history, Mark is a walking encyclopedia and he loves talking about the team’s rich history. After my all-too-brief chat with […]
