Dismal Jackie Robinson Day

April 16, 2024 //

The only highlight of Jackie Robinson Day was Keith Williams singing the Star Spangled Banner.

We lost, we had no energy, and I had to wait for Stephen to arrive at the gate before I could go in because of the stupid “digital tickets only” rule.

But wait, there’s more! While I was waiting at the gate, a bunch of school kids showed up holding in their little hands … paper tickets! The Dodgers print PAPER TICKETS for community organizations and such, so my question is, “Why can’t they print paper tickets for my digitally handicapped husband?”

I called the Dodgers today to ask exactly that. I am waiting for a response.

Alienating Fans Seems to Be Their Brand

If I hadn’t already bought my season tickets, I might be rethinking it right about now.

After my last post, my old L.A. Times friend Hans Tesselaar sent me this article from the paper to which I no longer subscribe. It’s disgraceful that the Dodgers Gestapo would use such strongarm tactics on folks just happy to be part of history.

No April Fools on the Blue Crew

Dodgers on the corners with Will Smith (batting .500) at the plate. I like our odds.

Great, no-doubt-about-it win last night. I like that. When we take the lead, keep the lead and don’t have to work in the bottom of the 9th.

Lots of solid hitting, including a 3-run bomb from Téoscar Hernàndez (his 4th in 4 games). We also got dependable pitching despite walking 6 batters. I never heard of James Paxton before, but the new pitcher got the job done.

It’s always nice to beat the dreaded Giants. Let’s hope the trend continues tonight!
