Dodgers' Hall of Fame Mgr. Walter Alston's
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Terry Melia – 949-831-3700, [email protected] DODGERS’ HALL OF FAME MGR. WALTER ALSTON’S MEMORABILIA HEADLINES SCP AUCTIONS’ 2016 MID-SUMMER CLASSIC The late MLB skipper’s extensive lineup of coveted major league awards goes up for bid from August 3rd to the 20th at scpauctions.com Laguna Niguel, Calif. (August 2, 2016) – SCP Auctions is extremely proud to announce that it will be auctioning off the personal memorabilia collection of the late Walter Alston, a managerial fixture for 23 seasons with both the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers. The affable manager’s distinguished assortment of baseball heirlooms encompasses more than 130 lots and will hit the online auction block starting on Wednesday, August 3, at www.scpauctions.com. It features Alston’s four World Series championship rings (1955, ’59, ’63 and ’65), as well as a large assortment of game-worn Dodgers uniforms, caps and jackets worn by the six-time National League Manager of the Year. Alston’s lineup even includes a 1950’s game-worn catcher’s mitt that was gifted to Alston’s granddaughter by fellow Hall of Famer Roy Campanella, the late, great Dodger backstop. “It is our distinct pleasure to conduct this auction,” said SCP Auctions President David Kohler. “Walter was a great man and a great leader of men as evidenced by his success as manager of the Dodgers for 23 years.

Burke, Glenn (1952-1995) by Linda Rapp
Burke, Glenn (1952-1995) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Glenn Burke was the first major league baseball player to acknowledge his homosexuality publicly. Although the general public did not learn of his orientation until after his retirement, some people in professional baseball knew or suspected it during his playing days. Burke believed that homophobia in the culture of professional baseball impeded his chances for a more successful career in the game. "Prejudice just won out," he said. Burke was born on November 16, 1952 in Oakland, California, where he grew up. His father, Luther Burke, a sawmill worker, left the family when Glenn Burke was less than a year old. The senior Burke continued to have sporadic contact with his eight children, but it was his wife, Alice Burke, who took responsibility for supporting the family on her income as a nursing-home aide. Burke's athletic ability made him a star on the Berkeley (California) High School baseball and basketball teams. It was basketball that was Burke's primary interest at the time, and he dreamed of a career in that sport. His performance in high school won him an athletic scholarship to the University of Denver in 1970. He left the school after only a few months, however, saying that he could not abide the cold Colorado winter. Back home in the Bay area, Burke enrolled in Merritt Junior College and played on its baseball team. Still hoping for a career in professional basketball, Burke considered going to the Golden State Warriors' training camp for a try-out; but in 1971, before the camp opened, Burke signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, whose scout had been impressed by his play on the junior college team.

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.

Update on the Metro Dodger Stadium Express
30 One Gateway Plaza 213-922.2000 Tel Los Angeles, CA 90012-2952 metro. net SYSTEM SAFETY, SECURITY AND OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MARCH 19, 2015 SUBJECT: METRO DODGER STADIUM EXPRESS UPDATE ACTION: RECEIVE AND FILE RECOMMENDATION Receive and file report for an update on the Metro Dodger Stadium Express. ISSUE Beginning this 2015 Dodger baseball season, the Metro Dodger Stadium Express will begin its fifth season of operation. This report will review a history of the service and provide an update on the planning and funding process required each year of operation . DISCUSSION For many years, Metro and its predecessor agencies operated game day service to Dodger Stadium. Originally Line 177 operated game day service, offering two trips each game prior to the first pitch. The service operated through Downtown LA making all local stops up to the entrance of Dodger Stadium. During the early 1980's, the line was renumbered Line 635 and continued to operate three trips before the first pitch. Due to declining patronage during a period of a budget shortfall, the line was cancelled at the end of the 1993 season with little opposition from Dodger fans. Fast forward to year 2010, and Union Station has become "the" transportation hub for Los Angeles. Patrons can reach Union Station by almost anywhere in Los Angeles County through the growing Metro Rail network, complimented by buses, Metrolink and Amtrak. Metro CEO Art Leahy began talks with Dodger management regarding the need to re-establish bus service to the stadium, with the goals of reducing traffic, carbon emissions, and providing a faster more pleasant alternative to driving.
