A book for baseball fans of a certain age - #Dodgers fans - ages 10 to 110.
“If you love baseball, if you love the Dodgers especially, then you’ll love this book. ‘Off Base with Howard Cole: The First 25 Years’ is a charming, fun and sometimes melancholy tour in the life of a ballclub, but also of a fan. I can’t wait for ‘The Second 25 Years.’”
Tim Brown, two-time New York Times bestselling author

@RamsFansForum@Brian_Spangle You’re right about all of the above, but the sky is falling. And oh, by the way, Skyfall was a decent Bond movie. This one, not so much.
L.A. produced more big leaguers than any other city & the San Fernando Valley is a HUGE part of that.
Add Bret Saberhagen (Cleveland), Jack McDowell (Notre Dame), Don Drysdale (Van Nuys) as Cy Young Award winners, and you have one heck of an all-time squad from the 818.
Very excited to find out who controls the rights to Bob Roberts as it has been a mystery for quite a few years. Yesterday we posted a clip from the end of the film, and a restriction was placed on it from the owner. We pulled the clip and the film from the website with apologies and with the hope that the owner will engage with us on how to get the film distributed on a platform. For those who did not see it, the clip follows the film’s documentarian into the Jefferson Memorial as we hear a news report about how opinion polls of Americans that opposed the first Iraq war have shifted from opposition to support. The final frames of the film pan across Jefferson’s words etched in the stone of the memorial. "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
@RSteinfeld53 Who knows which instructions do which with which players, but the Marlins have some fine young hitters. I mentioned Otto Lopez as a trade targets column the other day.
“It’s one of the most INCREDIBLE experiences I ever had!” 🥹🏒
Thank you to the @LAKings for having our Jim Hill drop the puck for tonight’s game, and for honoring Jim’s 50 years of covering sports in LA. 🖤🩶 @CBSLosAngeles#GoKingsGo
@juanlove4u@TimRogers2080 I was a Bill Buckner fan and didn’t like the trade for Rick Monday at the time. But it worked out well for both guys in the end.
