June 6th, 2014 at 9:53 am by Ron Cervenka For those who are unfamiliar with longtime Dodger fan Bobby Crosby, you really need to know about him. Crosby is the originator of the popular YouTube videos under the name ‘dodgerfilms‘ and although most of Crosby’s filming involves himself catching batting practice fly balls (something that I strongly discourage people from trying), he also captures key moments from almost […]
