The date was October 15, 2022.

It was a Saturday.

It was exactly 133 days ago from today.

It was Game-4 of the 2022 National League West Division Series between our beloved Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres at Petco Park in San Diego, with the Dodgers down two games to one in the best-of-five Series.

It was a ‘win-or-go-home’ game for Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ team.

The Dodgers went home.

It was the last time that a Dodgers team took the field in an actual game.

The date is February 25, 2023.

It is a Saturday.

And though it is only a ‘meaningless Spring Training game’ (as they are often called) against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Fields of Phoenix, “It’s Tiiiiime For Dodger Baseball,” as Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully would say.

The game will be carried live on SportsNet LA television and AM 570 radio, with first pitch scheduled for 12:10 p.m. (PT).

Play Ball!

…Finally!
