Could this be the year for the Dodgers? In the home opener, the Dodgers came back with four runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat the rival Giants. Woohoo! Looks like it might be a good year for the blue crew. They are off to a great start.
Some of the Game Notes from the ESPN article:
The attendance was 55,892—the largest regular-season crowd in the history of Dodger Stadium, which opened in 1962. ... Hall of Famer Duke Snider, who played for the Dodgers from 1947-62, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Snider was the center fielder in 1955, when the team won its only World Series while playing in Brooklyn. The franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958. ... When Vizquel booted Repko’s grounder, it snapped a 61-game errorless streak. It was Vizquel’s first error since July 25. ... Izturis had three hits. He’s had at least two hits in six of his team’s seven games this season. ... All the Giants were booed during pregame introductions, but none louder than home run king Barry Bonds, sidelined indefinitely following two arthroscopic surgeries on his right knee Jan. 31 and March 17.
