  • It's Ridiculous That Dodgers' Historic Run Is Not Seen by Majority of Fans
    It's ridiculous that Dodgers' historic run is not seen by majority of fans Dodgers players, wearing uniforms inspired by youth leagues, celebrate after a victory over the Brewers. (Harry How / Getty Images) Bill Shaikin September 2, 2017, 10:35 AM This is a golden era of Dodgers baseball. Parity can take its act somewhere else. Say, the American League West. When the Houston Astros clinch, the AL West will have crowned four of its teams as champion within the past five years. The National League West? The Dodgers, five years running. The Dodgers have fielded a team since 1884; this year’s squad could demolish the club record of 105 victories in a season. The personalities are compelling and likable: Clayton Kershaw’s intensity, Justin Turner’s happiness, Kenley Jansen’s passion, Yasiel Puig’s exuberance, Corey Seager’s drive, Rich Hill’s perseverance, Chase Utley’s Yoda. It should be quite a party when the Dodgers clinch the division championship, any day now. It is absurd that all of Los Angeles will not be able to watch the live clubhouse celebration unless the Dodgers clinch on a Tuesday. That is where we are, four years into the Dodgers’ television blackout: Get Spectrum, or get a few Tuesday night crumbs on KTLA. The aggravation extends beyond the city limits. In New York, where Rob Manfred recently joined the commissioners of the NBA, NFL and NHL for an otherwise upbeat panel discussion at the Paley Center for Media, an audience member rose and asked what the league was doing for the majority of Dodgers fans who do not get to see their team on TV.

[media-credit name="Associated Press" align="alignnone" width="227"] [/media- credit] Dodger Stadium Will we be visiting Chavez Ravine Live five years from now, a complex of shops and apartments and restaurants — oh, and parking garages — in the shadow of the ballpark, meant to help defray the $2.15 billion cost of rescuing the Dodgers from the clutches of Frank McCourt? (With Underfunded Frank, remember, sharing in the development profits.) And will Angel fans find themselves looking at a white elephant five years down their road, with Albert Pujols aging not-so-gracefully, his skills in decline but the team still on the hook for the remaining $140 million of his 10-year, $240 million contract? The massive shift in SoCal baseball over just the last five months has plenty of moving parts. So This Space turned the floor over to two local experts: Jill S. Harris, a University of Redlands economics professor who also lectures at Cal State San Bernardino, and Toby Miller, a UC Riverside professor and chair of the department of media and cultural studies. The consensus: We’re heading into the great unknown. TV rights, obviously, are the great equalizer. The Angels’ anticipated deal with Fox enabled owner Arte Moreno to sign Pujols and C.J. Wilson last winter.

NEWS CULTURE SPORTS VIEW HERE ARE THE JEWISH PLAYERS AND SPORTSPEOPLE LOOKING TO DOMINATE THE 2015 MLB PLAYOFFS By Daniel Koren - October 8, 2015 # 13832 ! 0 The 2015 Major League Baseball playoffs are officially underway, with Toronto setting the stage for the first game of the playoff season as the Blue Jays, playing their first post-season game since they won the World Series 22 years ago, take on the Texas Rangers. As the city’s Jewish members are well aware of, the Blue Jays’ own outfielder Kevin Pillar is a member of the tribe, who showed off his pride by wearing his ‘SuperJew’ undershirt when the Jays clinched the AL East division title. But aside from Pillar, there are several other Jewish athletes and spokespeople actively looking to win the 2015 World Series championship, including a distinguished cadre of owners, players, general managers and presidents of baseball operations. While we pay homage to them with this list, we must also acknowledge that there are far too many Jews in the MLB to mention them all, from batting and pitching coaches to communications directors. As only one team will prove triumphant, there is no doubt that there will be a very tough road ahead for all of you. Allow us to offer these words of encouragement, as spoken by the world’s most interesting man: For the thousands of baseball fans who look forward to this time of year more than anything else in the world, enjoy the wonderment that is the MLB playoffs.
