Dodger Stadium

Charlie Steiner calling an infield fly:

"OH MY GAWWWWWWWWD! This one could clear the fence! Out number three recorded on the pitchers mound. And that's that."

With all the talk about souvenir dirt on the Shea demo thread, thought this was interesting - signed by Walter O'Malley, no less.

Here are a couple of shots you don't usually see of Dodger Stadium.

So, are we ready for a dome yet? Sporting News, 1959.

Nice stands shots: WS 1963 from marpowfacepants on flickr.




Opening Day, 1962 from _G2. Love the program and stenciled seats (Are we in the gray numbers or red numbers?), and those big blue arms!

That was an interesting read.

I'm glad we don't have a roof! And the third deck isn't split, so that rendering was a bit off.

What's with the obsession with roofs in those days?

I also want the Los Angeles Kings to beat the Ottawa Senators at Dodger Stadium probably for the 1st hockey game at Dodger Stadium. I don't if there ever was hockey game played or not played at Dodger Stadium.

No hockey will be played at Dodger Stadium..

Hockey in the South is weird, pretty much, even South Florida has an NHL Team (Panthers.).

The Zamboni was invented in Los Angeles, and every Zamboni you see anywhere in the world is built in L.A..

Dodger Stadium is a suburban style ballpark



Dodger Stadium is definitely a suburban style ballpark. Does anyone disagree with that? I'm certainly not the only one acknowledges that fact. The Dodgers themselves acknowledge that. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, but to not acknowledge the fact that Dodger Stadium is perhaps the definition of a suburban style ballpark is ignorant.
