For the third consecutive off-season, the Dodgers will host their annual Pop-Up Museum beginning this Saturday, November 24, on the Left Field Reserve Level. The exhibit will run through February 2019. This unique experience will celebrate the life and legacy of Jackie Robinson in honor of his upcoming 100th birthday, as well as the Dodgers’ inaugural […]

On a baseball-less Sunday a mere four weeks into the painfully long off-season, I began reflecting on how I, a now sixty-something die-hard Dodger fan, ended up as such. As I did so, the wonderful memories – and my smile – spread. I was blessed, so very blessed, to have grown up in a very […]

If baseball’s annual off-season has taught us anything, it has taught us to expect the unexpected. I mean, who actually thought that outfielder Matt Kemp would not only be reacquired by the Dodgers just prior to spring training 2018, but would actually still be on the team come Opening Day a little over a month […]

Dodgers All-Star closer Kenley Jansen will undergo his planned cardiac ablation surgery on Monday, November 26, with a recovery time that can range anywhere from two to eight weeks. “If we don’t find anything, so let’s say they go in and nothing happens, everything is good, I will be done in two weeks,” the 31-year-old Curacao […]

Anyone who has been fortunate enough to witness the inner workings of professional baseball has seen first hand that it is a very close-knit community on every level. This is why you’ll notice that whenever a minor league player is promoted to a higher level within their own franchise – or even other franchises – there is […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) and team partner Smart & Final will host the 14th annual Community Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway at Dodger Stadium of Friday. Dodgers All-Star closer Kenley Jansen and Dodger Alumni will join volunteers in distributing a complimentary turkey (or vegetarian alternative), fixings and reusable canvas bags to 1,200 pre-selected […]

As the Dodgers and their fans slowly recover from the disappointment of losing their second World Series in as many years, there hasn’t been much good news coming out of 1000 Vin Scully Ave. of late. Oh sure, it’s hard to argue that locking up future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw for the next three […]

If you are among the nearly 200,000 who follow the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on Twitter (@baseballhall), you are well aware that their most popular feature is their ‘On This Day’ (#OTD)  in history feature, in which they share baseball trivia from among their current 323 inductees made up of 226 former Major Leaguers, 35 Negro […]

I had it right. …sort of. I had projected that one of the two Dodgers who had been given a $17.9 million qualifying offer (as set by MLB and the MLB Players Association) would accept it and that the other would not. I fully expected that Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal, who had a horrible fall […]

Like his former battery mate Yasmani Grandal, we will know later today if 31-year-old left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu accepted or rejected the $17.9 million qualifying offer made to him by Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and now former Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi back on November 2. But unlike Grandal, who many believe will accept […]
