Dodgers leave their marks in San Francisco


Anyone who has ever been to AT&T Park in San Francisco will tell that, in spite of being home to the Dodgers most-hated rivals, it is – hands down – one of the most beautiful ballparks in all of baseball. Opened on April 11, 2000 and having gone through a series of name changes – […]

Dodgers best not take the Phillies lightly


* * * UPDATE: Hoskins hit another home run on Thursday to bring his total to 18 * * * He’s the 24-year-old kid from Sacramento, California with the unusual first name. But mark my words, it is a name that everyone – including the Dodgers – will soon come to know very well. His name […]

Dodgers on the wrong side of history


When Dodger Stadium opened on April 10, 1962, it was considered the crown jewel of major league baseball. Then Dodger owner Walter O’Malley had fulfilled his dream of building a new home for his beloved Dodgers that could seat over 56,000 fans and park over 16,000 automobiles, something that New York City Parks Commissioner Robert […]

Dodgers show signs of life before slipping back into a coma


If you were among those who showed up ‘fashionably late’ to Dodger Stadium on Friday night, you missed out on two things. First, you missed out on receiving a Cody Bellinger bobblehead given away to the first 40,000 fans in attendance of the eventual sellout crowd of 53,632; and second, you missed seeing the first signs of […]
