If he did that today, he'd be banned from baseball.

Seeing Nolan in an Astros uniform makes me want to puke.

This guy was pretty special for those of us liking the LA area varsity baseball team. Talk about taking the league, and city by storm! Really good hitter to boot. Too bad he was pretty much used up by the time the JV team got him. Screwballs not too good on the arm.

Nearly a third of the US population alive today has never seen the Dodgers win a World Series, so calling them a varsity squad may be a stretch. That is starting to get as bad as the Red Sox were in the early 2000's, homers claiming how great the franchise was even though they had gone over 80 years without a title.

And almost 25 years since America's Team has been to the Super Bowl. That's right--not only am I a conservative Catholic who voted for Donald Trump, I'm also a Dallas Cowboys fan. Just give me a gun rack and I'm pretty much a liberal's worst nightmare.  |

Dodgers 4 WS titles since coming to LA. Angels 1 Playoffs - Dodgers 6 straight Angels - 1 in same 6 years You've got the most name changes and primary uniform combinations though. |

On the other hand, Bick, Angel fans can watch every Angels loss on free TV, while Dodger fans can watch every Cody Bellinger home run on the radio.

The Dodgers have the curse of Tommy Lasorda (no World Series titles since his retirement)
The Angels have the curse of Victor Rojas (no playoff victories since he joined our broadcast team)

C'mon RSM... let's not do the selective stat thing our distinguished colleagues from the left do.
