“It’s Time for Dodger Baseball”
Sandy Koufax
We know them and love them : Sandy (Koufax), Steve, (Garvey), Davey (Lopes), Ron (Cey), Bill (Russell), Don (Drysdale), but what about Pop (Corkhill), Oyster (Burns), Hub (Collins), Adonis (Terry) and Needles (Foutz). We recognize the first group of names as the true blue Dodgers of our immediate past, but those other names are early descendants having played on the Brooklyn teams that had many names. The Dodgers were originally founded in 1883 as the Brooklyn Atlantics, taking the name of a defunct team that had played in Brooklyn
before them. Then came the Brooklyn Bridegrooms (because so many team members were getting
Superbas
married), then the Grooms, the Superbas (which I will now call the Dodgers after I’ve had more than one cocktail), the Robins, The Trolley Dodgers, before finally becoming the Dodgers.
The Dodgers greatest rivals are the Hated Ones (or Giants) of San Francisco. Both teams moved to California in 1958 and while the teams were based in New York, the Giants won 5 World Championships (like saying the Egyptians made fine pyramids, it’s ancient history…..who cares) and the Dodgers just one. Since moving to modern times (west coast) the Dodgers have won 5 World Championships (there is no doubt that number will increase in the near future) with the Giants struggling to win 2. Life goes on and as the ink dries on this paper the 
Dodgers have a 15 1/2 game lead on the lowly last place Giants with the San Diego Padres desperately trying not to dip into the basement while pondering still another uniform change (Can you say branding?). The Dodgers have had the same uniform for 70 years.
As we all know, rooting for your baseball team can be a cruel and fickle maiden, but listening to the
honeyed voice of Vin Scully, (calling the Dodger games since 1950 …. “He’s a left handed batter and we understand his father makes wind chimes out of used toothpicks”) and loving the Dodgers, and the game of baseball, we are all lucky to be part of this wonderful ride of 2013. Go Dodgers!

Lets not forget some of the less recent but not ancient Dodgers near to our hearts, Big Frank Howard, Willie “Showboat” Davis, Tommy Davis, and my personal favorite, Wally Moon, the last Dodger unibrow. Go Blue!
Wally Moon, as in the famous flying “Moon ball?” He’ll go down in the history books.
I believe it was called a ” Moon Shot ” but that goes back to the days when the Dods played at the Coliseum.
As an Oakland A’s fan in my youth, I share your distaste for all things Giants. Kirk Gibson, however, deserves a special place in purgatory.
Also, Andre Either is a very handsome man.
reminds me of someone I know , but Andre doesn’t have the golf swing as good as this fellow
