Socal Vs. Nocal? No Contest the Best Rivalry in Sports Heats Up
SoCal vs. NoCal? No Contest The Best Rivalry in Sports Heats Up By Chris Brown and Casey Shearer It s the latter half of September, which means the fall breezes are blowing and the leaves are changing. The smell of hot-dogs and stale beer is in the air; everybody wants peanuts and Crackerjacks; children run home from school and head to the sandlot. All of which are symptoms of pennant fever. Or at least they should be. But as we look around, nobody seems to care about baseball at all. In what is usually the most exciting time of the year for baseball fans, that special excitement is somehow absent. Even as Mark McGwire and Ken Griffey Jr. chase Babe Ruth and Roger Maris, and Larry Walker chases the triple crown, something is missing: What's missing, kosher hot-dogs? A players? strike? Roy Hobbs? Steve Howe and his crack? The Cubbies? Has baseball become so unpopular so as to lose the interest of all its fans? Is it just that baseball lacks that type of hype, flashy color and big-money that basketball purports or the bone crushing thrills of football? No, what's missing are those heated races that lead to a bad case of pennant fever. With less than two weeks remaining in the season, the playoff picture is all but set in stone. In the American League, Baltimore owns the East, Cleveland looks to have the Central wrapped up, Seattle should win the West barring a major collapse, and the Bronx Bombers have sewn up the wild card. -
Lasorda's Baseball
Lasorda’s Baseball Wit The baseball season has wound down, the postseason gets under way tomorrow (Tuesday, Oct. 2), and the 2018 World Series will begin on Oct. 23. It’s celebration time for baseball fans everywhere. One of the most colorful characters in all of baseball is Tommy Lasorda, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who is best known for his two decades as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. This year, he marked his 69th season in one capacity or another with the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers organization – the longest tenure anyone has had with the team, edging Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully (now retired) by three seasons. Lasorda was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as a manager in 1997. If there was a spot in that hall for wit and wisdom, he could land there, too. Here are some samples of his quotes: • My theory of hitting was just to watch the ball as it came in and hit it. • The only way I’d worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not theirs. • When we win, I’m so happy I eat a lot. When we lose, I’m so depressed I eat a lot. When we’re rained out, I’m so disappointed I eat a lot. • All last year we tried to teach him, Fernando Valenzuela, English, and the only word he learned was “million.” • My wife tells me, “I think you love baseball more than me.” I say, “Well, I guess that’s true, but hey, I love you more than football and hockey.” • I walk into the clubhouse and it’s like walking into the Mayo Clinic. -

News Release
NEWS RELEASE October22, 2017 World Series Includes Plenty of Philippe's History Los Angeles, CA— For years, the tradition of a French Dip Sandwich and Dodger baseball have gone hand-in-hand. Generations of fans have made a tradition out of stopping at Philippe's before heading to the ball park, and now that the Dodgers are in the World Series there is plenty of L.A. history to be shared. Saw dust floors, pay phones and French Dips hold as much meaning to Angelenos as Vin Scully, Roger the Peanut Man and Chavez Ravine. It's been 30 years since the memories merged in the perfect way, and with the Dodgers in the World Series, the only thing better would be a ring. Baseball and Philippe's aficionados know how to kick off games with tap beer and great food as the restaurant overflows in Dodger blue with chants of "Let's Go Dodgers!" The line-up of French Dips; beef, lamb, pork, ham, turkey and Pastrami is as talked about as the starting Dodger line-up on game day. Some critics and foodies have recognized Philippe's as a great place to eat, both before and after games, and in some cases second to only the Dodger Dog as a game day meal. In 2018, Philippe's will celebrate 110 years, and for over half of those years, the tradition of French Dips have been coupled with Dodger baseball. Philippe's was established in 1908 by Philippe Mathieu and is one of the oldest and best known restaurants in Southern California. -

Of God, Baseball and Dodger Blue, It Had Some Good Quotes from Tommy Lasorda, Manager of the Dodgers
1 i \ . \ "WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD LIKE?" I ' INTRODUCTION A bumper sticker on the back of a car caught my eye the other day. It read: "God, Guns and Guts Made Us Free." There's something very American about that. John l~ayne could have said it. It's the type of thing that Woody Hayes might have posted on the wall of the locker room. General Patton would have called it good and pronounced "Amen" tQ it. "God, Guns and Guts Made Us Free." There's nothing subtle in that. Power is all that counts -power with a weapon in its hand and a captive God to bless us. Force is the language of achievement. Line the enemy up and hit him a good lick. "God, Guns, Guts". DEVEWPMENT Long ago Jesus of Nazareth asked: "What is the Kingdom of God like? It is like a grain of mustard seed when planted, but grows up to be the biggest of all shrubs1 It is like a piece of leaven that a woman uses in her baking to make the bread stand up." (Luke 13: 18 - 21) Is it any wonder then that "Kingdom talk" has never swept the l-TOrld? Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of God more than any other subject. Yes, mor~ than prayer, more than love, more than judgment, more than mercy, more than forgiveness. For a definition I would suggest that the Kingdom of God - or the Kingdom of Heaven, as Matthew calls it ... is the Lordship of God, established in this world in Jesus Christ. -

In 1895 and again from 1899 to 1904 there was a local team, the Dorps, designated a Class “B” team in the New York State League. In 1946, there were the Schenectady Blue Jays which stayed until 1957. The team was a farm team for the Philadelphia Phillies. Between 1904 and 1946 there was also a talented professional Negro team, the Mohawk Colored Giants of Schenectady. Baseball was a popular local sport from 1895 to 1957. It was truly the “national pastime.” There was no NBA. The NFL was a fledgling operation. Baseball stars were national idols with names such as Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Lefty Grove, Grover Alexander, Dizzy Dean, Joe Di Maggio, Lou Gehrig, Bob Feller, and Hank Greenberg. The players on these local teams were sturdy, mostly young, “imported” players, i.e. non-residents. They came from Kansas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Florida. -
