Funny, but I was a Dodger fan when I was a kid in the 50's. The Duke, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, Campanella, Furillo, Newcombe, etc. The Boys of Summer.

I'll be seeing this year's edition of the Dodgers twice in the three game set in Baltimore starting Monday. I'll say a prayer for them for you.;)

I will be watching all 3 games on T.V. MLB Network Monday and Wednesday and on TBS Tuesday. Orioles should have World Series in 79 they were loaded on offense and pitching was really good. Mike Flanagan,Jim Palmer,Scott McGregor was a good front three of starters.....

I loved the day this guy left the Cardinals to play for the Braves. One of the best 3rd base players to play the game. He brought a lot of leadership & class to the Braves organization.

He was pretty great on those early 90s Braves teams.
