LOS ANGELES DODGERS Formerly the Brooklyn Dodgers, it seems that ourboys in blue went back to their roots with their
newest member, former Yankee manager, Joe Torre. And to show his appreciation for his new sunny home,
he led the team on to becoming the 2008 National League Western Division
Champions. Located in the heart of Chavez
Ravine, Dodger Stadium has been the crown jewel of Los Angeles since 1962 and
has been named one of the best baseball fields by Major Leaguers.Don't forget to grab yourself one of their famous
foot-long Dodger Dogs, a must-have for the true Dodger experience.And if you're a true blue fan, you'll bring your AM/FM radio to the game so you can hear the play-by-play
voice of the Dodgers, Vin Scully. Scully's 60+ year tenure with the Dodgers is the longest of any broadcaster with a single club in professional sports history. And the game just wouldn't be the same without him.
