We arrived at Dodger Stadium at 4:30 for the 7:10 game. Jon Weisman, who is the Dodgers VP of Communications and someone I have known for twenty-plus years, left me a Media Credential which is a “Get out of Jail Free Card” – it takes you anywhere in the stadium. My wife, son…
In 1963, I became a Dodger fan for life. It’s a long story, but it happened when I was nine. I have been a Dodger fan for most of my life, and I am now an old man who will turn 72 years old in a few months. My 25-year-old son has recently turned into a rabid Dodger fan, and…
I have heard a few Dodger fans say that maybe the Dodgers made a mistake in signing Roki Sasaki and Hyeseong Kim. Of course, Kim was sent to OKC at the end of Spring Training to work on his hitting. It’s early, but last night he was 2-4 with two walks and 4 RBI, as he hit a…
Still undefeated! The Dodgers’ goal is to go 162-0 and then sweep the playoffs. It has never been done… nor will it, but it’s nice to have goals. If you are new to this site, I do not do game summaries. You can find them in a thousand other places, but my favorite is “Gameday”…
Who will win the 2025 World Series… assuming there is one? There are 30 teams in MLB. There’s a million-dollar pot for the winner. Do you take the Dodgers or the field? Of course, I am rooting for the Dodgers to win, but if there’s a million dollars at stake, I have to take the…
Mookie Betts has been sick for nearly two weeks. He is still throwing up. Two weeks ago, he weighed 175 pounds. Now, he weighs 157 pounds. “ My body’s just kind of eating itself, ” he said. “I t’s hard to not fuel it. And so every time — literally, every time — I fuel my body, I…
Mike Sirota was born in Mineola, NY, and grew up in the Broad Channel neighborhood of Queens, New York City. He attended The Frederick Gunn School in Washington, Connecticut, and in 2021, he was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 16th round of the MLB Draft but chose to…
Patience and perseverance have defined Dalton Rushing’s journey to prominence. After languishing on the bench for two seasons at Louisville, buried behind 2021 No. 1 overall pick Henry Davis, he erupted onto the scene in the Cape Cod League and carried that momentum into a…
In every power poll before this MLB season, the Los Angeles Dodgers were ranked #1. They are also overwhelming odds-on favorites in Las Vegas to win the World Series. If only they gave out the World Series Trophy based on potential and prediction. It doesn’t work that way! It’s…
Recently, Rob propounded a very valid question: LA has one black player, yet he is not “Home Grown “. Why is that, for a MLB club that takes pride in Jackie Robinson ? It’s 2025, for gosh sakes. That is a very good and very valid question. One of the few MLB teams that use DEI…
No more… no less! I will check in occasionally and post sometimes, but I have a lot going on, and it’s all good. Book writing, vacations, cruises, Disneyland, Doctor Appointments, Construction at our house, looking for a warehouse/office in Phoenix, training my 140-pound puppy…
About ten years ago, when Andrew Friedman was hired by the Los Angeles Dodgers, I was ecstatic, but most Dodger fans were not! In fact, not only were most fans not happy, but they were flat-out opposed to Andrew Friedman and blasted and ridiculed him at every opportunity they…
