Did you know that today marks a very important time in Dodger history? It was a day that many thought may never come. Today is the 20,000 day anniversary of Johnny Podres win over the Yankees in Game 7 of the 1955 World Series. Thanks to Chris Jaffe of the Hardball Times for pointing this out.
For any true Dodger fan in Southern California, the only place to be on Saturday July 10th is Pepperdine University in Malibu where The Dodgers Legends Team plays a game of ball against the Hollywood Celebrity Team coached by Pete Rose. 6 pm game time. Eddy D Field Stadium. Here’s the lineup. Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Steve Yeager, Jerry Reuss, Jay Johnstone, Maury Wills, Kenny Landreaux, Rudy Law, Mike Lieberthal, Todd Zeile, Bobby Castillo, Lee Lacy, the names go on and on. For more information go to http://www.naturalbalance.net . You can meet and get autographs and photos of many of these players at the Family Fan Festival before the game starting at 2 pm. You won’t see this group on the playing field again! And Garvey has stated he would like nothing better than to beat a Pete Rose team. Can't wait to see it!
