DREI'S SLIDESHOW....ST. LOUIS MAY 2005 AND MAY 2006

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since i've posted here. With the all-star game coming up tomorrow in St. Louie, I thought I might share with you a my slide shows here from my trip to St. Louis in May of 2005 and August of 2006 of both old and new Busch Stadium. In '05, my buddy Josh and I had an opportunity to see our Dodgers do battle with the RedBirds in old Busch's last season and returned in '06 to see their rival Cubs in the new digs. I'm sure all of you have heard how great a baseball town… Continue

BALLPARK THOUGHT- KEEPING SCORE, THE DH, AND IF YOU WERE A BALLPLAYER WHAT WOULD YOUR WALKUP SONG BE ?

OK, this may be for some of us staunch baseball fans here, but as far back as when I was a kid, I remember keeping score and as the years would go by I would become somewhat of an expert, heck I would even compare my style of keeping score with other fans around me. But as the years would go by, I would also notice that keeping score was a dying art . How many of you out there still keep score at a ballpark today ? Oh yeah, personally, I find keeping score in a National League park more fun… Continue

BALLPARK THOUGHT- CLASSIC VINNIE

Hey all, 'Drei here again with another ballpark thought. Today, we talk about longtime Dodger announcer Vin Scully. I'm sure many of you out there have heard Vinnie at some point. You know, the guy that tells many a story and still has the time to fit a baseball broadcast in there. You know, the guy that many Dodger fans have heard hawking those Fahmah John Dahjah Dogs..... I have no doubt in my mind many of you have a favorite Vin Scully story to tell. ( Please, do tell....) Well, today, I… Continue

BALLPARK THOUGHT- PITCH COUNTS

'Drei here again. Another topic you baseball fans probably hear about night in and night out, pitch counts. Do you think they are overrated ? I tend to think it can be. Steve Lyons' theory is that pitchers get injured easily because they don't throw enough. And of course you've probably heard of every manager yanking his pitcher at right about the 100 pitch count. But of course every pitcher is going to have at least one inning where they utilize over 15 pitches. And managers are quick to want… Continue

BALLPARK THOUGHT

'Drei here, just fininshed listening to the Dodgers 3 game sweep of the Mets. Anyways, I was out at the Ravine last night in the All You Can Eat Dodger Dog section in right field when this never ending question came up.....WHY DO HOT DOGS TASTE SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER AT THE BALLPARK ? Especially Dodger Dogs ? What are you theories folks ?

SOME THOUGHTS AND A SLIDESHOW OF OPENING WEEK IN SOCAL

Hey ball fans !!! Can you believe we're almost 2 months into the season. And fellow Dodgers fans, after watching our Boys in Blue just complete their road trip winning 4 of 6 in Philly and Florida and watching Kershaw nearly throw a no-hitter, are you convinced yet that we will DEFINATELY be allright while Manny is out ?



Anyways, below I have posted some pics I took during opening week here in Southern California from PETCO to Angel to Dodger Stadium . It was quite an opening week… Continue

MORE OF MY DODGER STADIUM PICS UP

Good Friday baseball fans. I just put up some more pics from Dodger Stadium, from Game 5 of last years NLCS, which the Phillies would win, sending them to an eventual World Championship. Speaking of the Phillies, it was good to see the Blue Crew take 2 of 3 at Citizens Bank Park, especially with all the Manny talk and the fact we struggled there last year. The Blue Crew will be alright. Hope you all have a great weekend. And for you L.A. fans out… Continue

HEY ALL BASEBALL FANS

Hey baseball fans. Welcome to my page. This here is my first blog. I've been a Dodgers fan since 1980, attended my first ballgame at Dodger Stadium on my 8th birthday in 1982 and have gone to many a Dodger game since. I have been to 18 of the current 30 ballparks, and 5 that are either extinct or no longer used for baseball, including Yankee Stadium. My last trip took me to Minute Maid Park in Houston and the Metrodome in Minneapolis last summer. This… Continue
