I remember those days...

Pinging the fans.

They are called the Dodgers as people in Brooklyn about 100 years ago had trouble dodging the street cars.

Too many people were killed by the street cars, such that Dodger became a term for surviving in Brooklyn -- just crossing the street...

Instant sellout is right. And I loved that quip about the Dodgers returning before the NFL. LOL, that was a good one.

I’ve often thought the Dodgers should have added on to fill in that center field bleacher section, making the statium go all the way around. If they modernized it and tapped all the modern possibilites they could make a bundle off that section.

They sell out so many games as it is. They could probably add another twenty thousand seats and still fill them.

I remember that, it was 3 weeks before we got married.

I hated when they opened Dodger Stsdium, they created a trafic jam 2 blocks from our office and made a few hours durring every home game miserable.

[Uncle Hal]

I attended that game. I was a senior at USC and only lived a few blocks away. In fact I attended the first few games they played.

In a famous incident, writers Pete Hamill and Jack Newfield wrote their own list of the three worst villains of the 20th century on a piece of paper to settle a discussion they were having over lunch. They each wrote the same three names in the same order: Hitler, Stalin, Walter O’Malley.

They can have it.

Go Giants! :)

I was at three straight games when Willie Davis hit in 29, 30, and 31 straight to set the Dodger record. It was either on No. 30 or 31 when hit was hitless through 8 innings. The Dodgers had a three or four run lead, and everyone thought that was the end of the streak. The Mets tied it, and it went into extra innings. I’ve look for the box score but so far can’t find it. It was possibly Sept. 2 or Sept. 3, 1969. Anyway, in extra innings the Dodgers had the winning run on third, and I think it was one out. Met manager and former Dodger great Gil Hodges did not intentionally walk Davis. Davis got a hit to win the game.

I was unfortunately at this playoff game in 1974. But the Dodgers won the next day to take the Pirates 3 games to 1. I was teaching at the time and played hooky. A teacher is required to call in to the school before the end of the day to tell the secretary whether the sub will be needed the next day. I went downstairs to the pay phone, and while talking to the secretary, the crowd starting singing TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME. The secretary laughed when I told her I was feeling better and would be there the next day.
