Here are several photos taken on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 of the construction (etc.) at Dodger Stadium. (Click on photos to enlarge) A huge thank you to Tom Cervenka for providing the photos.

Dodger legend Maury Wills is at Dodgers spring training camp at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona. So what’s the big deal about that, you ask? It just so happens to be Wills’ 64th spring training camp and any way you slice it, that is a big deal. Maurice Morning Wills was born on October 2, […]

It’s hard to dispute that Josh Beckett’s arrival at spring training camp was among the most anticipated. Coming off a very serious surgery for a condition known as thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), it had been reported that the 33-year-old Spring, Texas native was 100% healed and healthy and that he would have no restrictions on him whatsoever in camp. […]

It’s never a matter of if but rather a matter of when and who will become the first spring training injury casualty every year and for 2014 the when is now and the who is a significant one. In only the second official day of camp, Dodgers top pitching prospect and 2010 first round draft pick Zach […]

The first surprise of spring training came when curious reporters noticed Paul Maholm’s name on a locker in the Camelback clubhouse. Maholm arrived unannounced somewhat by stealth. Needless to say that raised some eyebrows and prompted some questions. His name was then taken down as no announcement had been made regarding his signing. The subsequent announcement was […]

With 31-year-old left-hander Paul Maholm now officially a Dodger, manager Don Mattingly said that acquiring the Greenwood, MS native not only adds depth to his pitching staff but also adds protection for it. “We’ll get him in the mix and basically get him going,” said Mattingly prior to Sunday morning’s first workout day for pitchers and catchers. “He’s […]

Baseball writers are an observant bunch. Within a minute of being allowed into the Dodgers clubhouse at Camelback Ranch on Saturday morning they immediately noticed a name tag above one of the lockers that said ‘Maholm #46.’ Until that moment nobody even had a clue that the Dodgers had any interest in the 31-year-old left-hander […]

If there was one word to describe the atmosphere in the Dodgers clubhouse at their Camelback Ranch spring training facility on Saturday morning when pitchers and catchers officially reported, it would be ‘euphoric.’ “It’s great to be back,” said a slimmer and trimmer A.J. Ellis. “It’s a great feeling pulling in the complex seeing all […]

When the Dodgers first announced that they would be kicking off their 2014 season against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Sydney, Australia late last year, a lot of fans (both Dodgers and Dbacks) thought that the idea was, well, dumb. First and foremost, very few Dodgers and Dbacks fans will be able to attend the two-game season […]

Prior to the 1988 season, Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda made a bold prediction. He told the world that Dodger fans would be dancing in the streets of Los Angeles come October. And while such predictions are commonplace in all professional sports, Lasorda held true to his word as the Dodgers did, in fact, dance in […]
