We never sketch out our pieces first. Never did that. Always just paint what we feel. Never made a DJ “routine,” always just cut it up how I feel. Can’t make a mistake when you improvise using your talent n passion to create. Go make art today…
Today in 1996, just days after suffering a heart attack, Tom Lasorda officially retires from his 21-year career as manager of the Dodgers. During his tenure as LA's skipper, Lasorda won 1,599 games, 4 NL pennants, and 2 WS titles, leading to his induction into the HOF in 1997.
Happy 40th birthday to Scott Van Slyke. The son of former AS Andy Van Slyke, Scott was drafted by the Dodgers in 2005 and made his MLB debut with the club in 2012. He played 5 seasons in LA before being traded to the Reds. He last played professionally in Korea in 2018.
"I didn't play one inning in the NLCS, I wasn't feeling so confident. Your family believing in you keeps you up, they made me feel like I was going to contribute." ❤️
Miguel Rojas is in studio to break down his legendary Game 7 home run in last year's World Series and how his swing has changed over the years.

The great Don Drysdale was born 90 years ago today.
The intimidating righty led his league in strikeouts three times and started the All-Star Game a record-tying five times for the @Dodgers.
Just my view…
All I care about is the kids getting better. Them enjoying the game and being excited for their next season.
I feel winning is a by-product of real development. Development is learning and then providing reps…Repeat. The process of growth varies by player and that’s part of the challenge of coaching. We as coaches need the skills and ability to help them all from all angles of the game. If we have weaknesses in our knowledge and ability, we either need to find those who have those different strengths and get their help or dig deep and get better ourselves.
The game is about them and them only. Once things start to get twisted and become more about a team’s name, a coaches name or adult emotions, drama will always be present. Most every problem there ever is out there can be trailed back to how the adults carried themselves. The kids end up being caught in the middle. And in some cases unfortunately take the brunt of those adult issues.
Keep it all in perspective. It’s their game. It’s their experience. Our playing days are long over. It’s time to give back and help them get the most out of this short phase in their life.
Orel Hershiser finished off the A's in Game 5 of the 1988 World Series, the exclamation point on a year that included a record 59 straight scoreless innings.
The Bulldog willed an overmatched Dodgers team to a title almost nobody saw coming.
Happy 90th birthday to the late, great Don Drysdale. The right-handed half of one of baseball's greatest pitching duos, Drysdale was a 9-time AS, 1962 CY Award winner, and 3-time WS champ. His record scoreless innings streak in 1968 was the perfect cap to his HOF career.
For The Rush… Turntables & Spray paint. I put in my 10k hours w each element. We love n live this. Most of the loudest soc media voices contributed nothing. Respect to Nas & Preem for the shoutout on Writers… 🫡
Happy 28th birthday to Keibert Ruiz. Ruiz was a highly anticipated prospect for the Dodger for a long time before he came up in 2020. He debuted with a bang, hitting a HR in his 1st MLB at bat. In the end, he was part of the price to get Max Scherzer and Trea Turner in 2021.
Max Muncy keeps climbing the Dodgers record books. 💣
With his 2-run homer tonight, Muncy has now hit 228 career home runs as a Dodger, tying Ron Cey for 2nd-most in franchise history. 👏
Only Eric Karros (270) has more. 🐐
One of the most stacked posse cuts of the 90s 🔥
“Hit ‘Em High (The Monstars’ Anthem)” brought together B-Real, Coolio, Method Man, LL Cool J, and Busta Rhymes for the *Space Jam* soundtrack. Even 30 years later, it still feels like raw.
Eliezer Alfonzo on recording his first career Major League hit tonight against the Yankees:
“It felt amazing! The second I saw the ball sail over the infielders’ heads, I thought, ‘All the hard work I’ve put in has finally paid off.’”
What a moment. 🥹👏
