Been busy as of late, but I had a chance to head up to Chavez Ravine this past week to write a Dodgers feature for the Washington Post. It's about the talented youngsters who have put the Blue into first place (at least for the time being).
An excerpt:
LOS ANGELES -- The names appear one after another on Hollywood stars the size of automobiles, filling the screen of the DiamondVision in a pregame hype-fest: Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Fernando Valenzuela, the luminaries of the franchise.After all, this is Chavez Ravine, home of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and this year's squad, front-runners in the National League West (73-63), boasts memorable names of its own: Nomar Garciaparra, Jeff Kent, Derek Lowe and Greg Maddux, a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame.
But over the course of a miraculous August in which Los Angeles won 21 games, tying the team's all-time record for the month, the difference makers have been a group of young players, most of them rookies, whom almost no one has heard of.
"I don't know their names," said Gary Tustin, a middle-aged, life-long Dodgers fan from Moorpark, Calif. "But I think it's great. I'm happy to see it."
Remember them: left fielder Andre Ethier, catcher Russell Martin, reliever Jonathan Broxton and pitcher Chad Billingsley. They're not just the talented future of Los Angeles; they're making themselves known in the present.
