L.A. Dodgers Baseball ticket info

Whether you’re in Los Angeles to see one of the other great sports franchises like the Lakers, the Clippers, or the Mighty Ducks, enjoying a concert, attending a movie premiere, or just wandering off of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one must not miss the opportunity to pick up some Los Angeles Dodgers tickets to see one of the most storied baseball clubs in history. Founded in Brooklyn in 1890, the LA Dodgers moved to their present location on April 10, 1962 and Dodger Stadium enjoys a scenic view overlooking downtown Los Angeles.

Along with the history of the franchise and all the players associated with that history, such as “Iron Man” McGinnity and Jackie Robinson, the LA Dodgers are proven winners. As a club they made an impressive eighteen World Series appearances and came out on top six of those times. The most recent World Series Title came in 1988 when the Dodgers bested Oakland after barely getting by the Mets in seven games behind Series MVP Orel Hershiser's five-hitter. Less than three weeks later Orel Hershiser was unanimously selected as National League's Cy Young Award winner.

Tommy Lasorda, perhaps the most famous LA Dodger of all time was only a player for two years as a left-handed pitcher, but he enjoyed many years as the Dodger Manager. He played for the Dodgers from 1954-55, but when he managed the team starting in 1976 the Dodgers went on to win two consecutive National League Titles and later two World Series Titles in 1981 & 1988. The Dodgers winning ways almost guaranteed that Los Angeles Dodger Tickets would be a much sought after commodity well into the 1990’s.

The early part of this century has seen Manager Jim Tracy steer the Dodgers in a positive direction with steady improvements every year, but always falling just short of a playoff appearance. After winning the National League West Division in 2004, there was a dramatic drop off in performance, which resulted in the team finishing fourth in their division behind rival Padres in 2005.

The LA Dodger faithful won’t let this letdown affect their love of such a great team. The season ticket holders as well as those looking to get a glimpse at history with their great seats will be 56,000 strong every game to support their beloved Dodger players. With new General Manager Ned Colletti and Jim Tracy being replaced after five great seasons by Grady Little, the Dodgers should be ready for a very competitive season filled with many victories. Be sure to pick up some Los Angeles Dodgers Tickets to a game today and be a part of history.
