The 1955 Dodgers are going to be honored by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Â Things aren’t so bad that you thought some other team would honor them did you?
Anyway. since the Brooklyn Dodgers tend to come up now and then, I think it’s cool that they are having “55 since ’55”
The blog Vin Scully is My Homeboy has more info, including the controversy related to this patch. Â Apparently it was made, was sold, but has now been withdrawn.
On July 23rd the Dodgers host the Mets and it’s 55 since 55 night. Â The first 20,000 fans get a poster. Â I wonder if Fred will attend the game, and which team he will root for?
Part of me hopes to attend “86 since ’86” since it will mean I have lived a very long life. Â How does 2072 sound for a meet-up? Â By then Citi Field will be gone and we’ll be complaining about how we hate the Metsdome (or will have they moved to Mercury by then? Â Actually it will be the 50th season on Mercury, won’t it?)
While we’re in Dodgers mode, looks like they are remodeling the place. I was there about 15 years ago and I loved it. Â I also see something called “Viva Los Dodgers” night, I wonder if they wear Los Dodgers jerseys?
Thanks to @yvaithe for the tweet letting me know about this one. Â I’m @metspolice if you’d like to follow, I tend to retweet things of interest a few times a day.
