Dredging Dodgers history
Jon at the website Dodger Thoughts interviews Mark Langill, the team's historian and publications editor.
There is also a special place within Dodger Stadium, tucked away from the obvious landmarks and carefully preserved and packaged like a grandparents' cedar chest in a dusty attic. Assembled in a special storage area are rows of four-drawer metal cabinets, filled to the brim with manila-colored files and photos of Dodger players, executives, and press conferences. This is the heart of the organization with its roots in New York, a storied and colorful Brooklyn franchise that joined the National League in 1890.
That's from the photo book Dodger Stadium that Langill put out this year.

I suppose most people around here are aware of the fact that Chavez Ravine is the second oldest stadium in the National League. But I wonder if so many realize that by the end of the 2006 season, the Dodgers will have played as long in Chavez Ravine as they played at Ebbets Field.
