Barring any unforeseen developments, it appears that the Houston Astros are the legitimate 2022 Champions of Baseball under the leadership of 73-year-old / three-year Astros manager and 25-year MLB manager (and former Dodger) Dusty Baker, to whom we extend a hearty and well-deserved congratulation. With the 2022 World Series now in the books, the 2023 […]

As Dodgers fans continue their painful countdown to Opening Day 2023, they – and every other non-Houston Astros fan on the planet – took a big hit on Thursday night when the Astros took a three-games-to-two lead in the 2022 World Series with their 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park behind […]

Turner eventually sold […]

If it wasn’t a ‘no-brainer’ for Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman before, it most certainly is now.

In 1965, Dodgers Hall of Fame left-hander Sandy Koufax tossed 27 complete games, including a perfect game on September 9. He then repeated this remarkable feat with 27 complete games in 1966. Koufax’s right-handed counterpart, fellow Dodgers Hall of Famer Don Drysdale, tossed 21 complete games in 1964 and 20 in 1965. The last Dodgers […]
