Too often the word “legend” or calling someone the “GOAT” are used inaccurately - but in this case, there is no discussion, Coach Meusborn is a true legend and the GOAT. #chatsworthbaseball #sierracanyonbaseball

NEWS: Legendary baseball coach Tom Meusborn announces his resignation from Sierra Canyon, according to a release from the school today.

Meusborn won eight City titles at Chatsworth High, a national title to boot.

Always a class act. Helluva coach.

On this Memorial Day, as we pause to remember those who fought and died for our freedom, this story is a testament to how important this holiday is. Let us all be more like this child. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice. 🙏🇺🇸

No better experience for a high school baseball player than to be able to play on the perfectly manicured field of Dodger Stadium. Memories to last a lifetime.

[L.A. in a Minute @LaInaMinute]

One of the best traditions in L.A. is the City Section baseball Championship game at Dodger Stadium.

This year, two champions were crowned, following in the footsteps of legends who also competed in what might be the best tradition in the LAUSD.

Let's get into it!

So much respect for @AnzeKopitar for how he excelled on and off the ice for the @LAKings and the City of LA. I can only hope that his 2nd career as a husband and father exceeds his 1st career as a Hall of Fame player. #legend #ThankYouKopi

50 Years Ago Today….Rick Monday saved the American Flag. Truly one of the plays to never be forgotten.

For people who remember that era of #dodgers baseball, that record setting infield were, and remains, legends for the @Dodgers. Davey was the engine that made them go. RIP to our Captain. 🙏

[Los Angeles Dodgers @Dodgers]

The Dodgers mourn the loss of Davey Lopes, who passed away today at age 80. Lopes was a member of the team’s record-setting infield of the 1970s and 1980s and one of the finest basestealers in MLB history. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
