Let’s be real here. If you are a baseball fan, regardless of who your favorite team is, and you are not on-board the Shohei Ohtani train yet, you are not a true baseball fan, period.

On Sunday evening, the NL West first place Los Angeles Dodgers announced (via social media) that 30-year-old international superstar Shohei Ohtani would be making his Dodgers pitching debut against the NL West third place San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium on Monday evening.

The Dallas, TX native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in […]
Biggest Series of the Season?
The Dodgers will enter this weekend’s three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium exactly 1.0 games ahead of … the San Francisco Giants.

Ohtani Nearing 2-Mile Mark
June 24th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka For those old enough to remember, back when cigarette commercials were still allowed on television, the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company made famous the slogan “I’d walk a mile for a Camel.” In fact, it’s even in the Smithsonian.

Not the kind you take around the neighborhood or at the park, which are good for you, but the kind you give up during a baseball game, especially during a Major League Baseball game.
