If you’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Dodger Stadium Executive Chef Jason Tingley, you have missed out on meeting an exceptionally humorous guy who can pretty much be summed up in one word – passionate; okay maybe two words – insanely passionate. On Tuesday and courtesy of Steve Brener, Yvonne Carrasco, Jon Weisman and Daisuke […]

For decades fans of major league baseball have often asked “With so many games played at night during the regular season, why don’t teams play more night games during spring training?” In fact, former Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was rather outspoken about this very thing four years ago. “I’m lobbying to get the last week […]

You hear it all the time – especially if you’re a Dodger fan. A player gets injured, leaves the field, has an X-ray and/or an MRI which invariably comes back “negative” and then we are told that the player is listed as “day to day.” This is usually followed by Dodgers broadcaster Charlie Steiner proclaiming (ad […]
