He is but he played for Long Beach, I know we combined little leagues with a few other cities and had an allstar team. Also Tony Gwyn jr was on that same little league team that won the title.

Another funny thing about Maury Wills, his grandson (Robinson, you will never guess who he is named after) was about 6'1 as a 12 year old, and ran like he had cement shoes on. Exact opposite of gramps.

In 1995 both teams were good and for the most part have been ever since (I'm going purely from my incredible memory here). I think you'd have to say early 90's.

While I agree that as of late, their games are usually terribly entertaining, the media shoves that rivalry down everyone's throat. From a statistical perspective, you could make an argument that it is actually one of the worst rivalries in baseball. It is incredibly lopsided in the Yanks favor.

I went to a Dodgers v. Giants game this year. It was great. I have no idea what the pavilion is. All I know is that I was sitting in nosebleed seats.
There were no less than 5 fights just in my section. Including one that started when a Dodgers fan took a Giants baseball cap off the head of a female Giants fan (she was very trashy, and her size made her choice of teams seem very appropriate) and started tossing it around the section. Everyone that got the baseball cap would spit on it. Unbelievably enough her boyfriend actually got up and while shouting a lot of very interesting profanities, retrieved the cap and returned it to her. Why she wanted it back is totally beyond my ability to comprehend. The cops dragged out one Dodgers fan who stood up and mooned the Giants fan below him that was standing up screaming profanities at him. I think after the 3rd fight the couple sitting behind us got up to leave because the girl said she was worried about her safety walking out with those people. I loved it. I'd go again in a heartbeat. |

Spit is a new one. I hadnt thought of that. I could get behind spitting on opposing fans hats, given the approriate circumstances. The thing I dont get with the fighting...the ones I have seen are always the same....it is some college guy....likely a knucklehead UCLA student or SC student from NorCal, who comes to the game with his girlfriend, thinking he will show her how cool he is by wearing his Giants gear. He already knows that at any given Dodger game, you are likely to be sitting next to several people who are not afraid to fight and are affiliated with some mexican gang or club, but he still insists. He shows up to the game, starts shooting off his mouth and causing trouble. If the Giants are winning, he makes the HUGE mistake of standing up. Once they stand up, it is all over. because you have just given the Dodger fans the lame "get out of my way...I cant see" excuse. Shortly after standing up, the cokes and food start flying. The girlfriend gets hit and protests. She gets shouted down and called unflaterring names, often cruel ones. Clueless college guy then has to prove his worth. It always ends the same way...beatdown for Giants fan and cheers at his expulsion. the girlfriend has to leave with him, usually for her own safety. One or two Dodger martyrs get tossed, as well. Within a few minutes, someone has inflated another beach ball and it still isnt coming my way.

After reading your younger sister's blog and about all the pornographic clothes she was given in anticipation for her big night in a week or so, mixed in with her favorite wedding cake topper, one must ask what influence is SoCal having on the wholesome Black girls?
One daughter posts marginally crude references to her night of getting it hit, asking your mom what she thinks of it, and also hangs out with friends who buy her the best of Freddies of Hollywood home team outfits and you find perverse humor in the violance of trashy MLB fans......Orem never seemed so far away.
