I so loved my years of going to Dodger games in LA in the 60's and 70's. I was there for sandy Koufax's last no-hitter. and when Bob Welch struck out Reggie Jackson in the '78 World Series - it took nine pitches with two on and two out in the top of the ninth. (google it, its fantastic) I havent been watching the playoffs, but your writing had me right there. loved it. but sorry things are the way they are with the yankees...never did like them, anyway!

I remember that game so well. I was a big Dodgers fan in my youth, and a big fan of Welch, especially because he was open about his sobriety!

You are preaching to the choir! 😊 The arrogance is silly because they’ve been under achieving for the past several years. I really hope they get taken out in the next round. I have to say I’m rooting a bit for the Dodgers just to see Ohtani play. He is such a special talent

Preaching right back at the other choir. They have never even reached the world series for years!!
