Dynamic Diminutive Duo
HOF Joe Morgan passed away today joining Jimmy Wynn who passed away on March 26th, 2020. I wrote this story about the two of them way back in 2007 for TrueBlueLA. Sometimes when you do research for a story you get thrown a curve, or find out things that pleasantly surprise. I knew going in …
Frank Robinson was a Dodger big deal
As the stars of my youth start to die off some make a bigger emotional impact than others. Frank Robinson had a storied HOF career well documented yesterday by numerous outlets including MLB media which showed off what they considered the ten most important moments of his career.

Dan Hudson took the hard road

The Monthly walk LAD leaderboard
With Yasiel Puig taking walks this month more than he has ever done before, I decided to bring back the leaderboard for walks in a month. Of course, Jimmy Wynn is on top, that was his bread and butter. How about the rest of the group that has managed at least twenty-three walks in a …
LAD single season home run leaders
A few weeks ago I displayed the table showing every single LAD team home run leader from 1958 to 2017. This table is a little different. It is going to show you the history of the most home runs hit in a season since 1958. Charlie Neal and Gil Hodges held the record for only …
Most LAD walks in May
A few days ago we looked at where Cody Bellinger ranks in LAD May for home run runs and RBI. How about we take a gander at Chris Taylor and the LAD May base on balls leaderboard. Taylor already has fifteen walks and while he’s a long way from the top, he could crack the …
