It is undeniable 2020 has been a tough year, not only for the city of Los Angeles but for the whole world. The year did not start out great when Los Angeles lost Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players of all-time, his daughter Gianna, and seven others in a horrific helicopter crash. The whole world was grieving the …
I remember watching sports as a kid, specifically baseball and football, and would hear an announcer every now and then say, “Hey, now that is a football/baseball name.” It’s been years since I have heard that phrase, but I think there is some truth to it. There are some names that were just made to be said during a baseball …
In what should have been the first day of the season, this all-star squad the Los Angeles Dodgers have put together, a day when all Dodgers fans could start their redemption season, they again must feel cheated.

The first hurdle in this year’s National League Divisional Series will be the winner of a wild card game consisting of teams they have eliminated recently in the playoffs. Now is the time the front office, Dave Roberts and his team of coaches, will strategically put together their best roster when they kick off their 2019 postseason. So, who is …
