Quick snap shot of the Dodgers Past

The Los Angeles Dodgers are a Major League Baseball team based in Los Angeles, California. The team is in the Western Division of the National League. Established in 1883, the team originated in Brooklyn, New York, where it was known as the Brooklyn Dodgers, before moving to Los Angeles before the 1958 season.

Brooklyn was home to outstanding baseball clubs in the mid-1850s. Eight of 16 participants in the first convention were from Brooklyn, including the Atlantic, Eckford and Excelsior clubs that combined to dominate play for most of the 1860s. Brooklyn helped make baseball commercial, as the locale of the first paid admission games, a series of three all star contests matching New York and Brooklyn in 1858. Brooklyn also featured the first two enclosed baseball grounds, the Union Grounds and the Capitoline Grounds; enclosed, dedicated ballparks accelerated the evolution from amateurism to professionalism.

Real estate businessman Walter O'Malley had acquired majority ownership of the team in 1950, when he bought the shares of his co-owner Branch Rickey. Before long he was working to buy new land in Brooklyn to build a more accessible and better arrayed ballpark than Ebbets Field. Beloved as it was, Ebbets Field had grown old and was not well-served by infrastructure, to the point where the Dodgers could not sell the park out even in the heat of a pennant race (despite largely dominating the league from 1946 to 1957).

When Los Angeles officials attended the 1955 World Series looking to entice a team to move to the City of Angels, they were not even thinking of the Dodgers. Their original target was the lowly Washington Senators (who would in fact move to Minneapolis and become the Minnesota Twins in 1961). At the same time, O'Malley was looking for a contingency in case Moses and other New York politicians refused to let him build the Brooklyn stadium he wanted, and sent word to the Los Angeles officials that he was interested in talking. Los Angeles offered him what New York would not: a chance to buy land suitable for building a ballpark.

Meanwhile, New York Giants owner Horace Stoneham was having similar difficulty finding a replacement for his team's antiquated home stadium, the Polo Grounds, and the two arch-rival teams moved out to the West Coast together after the 1957 season. On April 18, 1958, the Dodgers played their first game in Los Angeles, defeating the former New York and now new San Francisco Giants, 6-5, before 78,672 fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The process of building Walter O'Malley's dream stadium soon began in semi-rural Chavez Ravine, in the hills just north of downtown L.A. There was some political controversy, as the residents of the ravine, mostly Hispanic and mostly poor, resisted the eminent domain removal of their homes, and gained some public sympathy. Still, O'Malley and the city government were determined, and construction proceeded. The resistance of the residents against their removal was known as the Battle of Chavez Ravine.

In the meantime, the Dodgers played their home games from 1958 to 1961 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, a gargantuan football and track-and-field stadium that had been built to host the 1932 Summer Olympics. The Coliseum's dimensions were not optimal for baseball, and the only way to fit a diamond into the oval-shaped stadium was to lay the third-base line along the short axis of the oval, and the first-base line along the long axis. See picture. This resulted in a left-field fence that was only some 250 feet from home plate, and a 40-foot screen was erected to prevent home runs from becoming too easy to hit. Still, the 1958 season saw 182 home runs hit to left field in the Coliseum, while only 3 were hit to center field and 8 to right field. Dodgers outfielder Wally Moon, newly acquired for the 1959 season, became adept at launching lazy fly balls over the screen, which became known as "Moon shots."

Construction on Dodger Stadium was completed in time for Opening Day 1962. With its clean, simple lines and its picturesque setting amid hills and palm trees, the ballpark quickly became an icon of the Dodgers and their new California lifestyle, and it remains a beloved landmark to this day. O'Malley was determined that there would not be a bad seat in the house, achieving this by cantilevered grandstands that have since been widely imitated. More importantly for the team, the stadium's spacious dimensions, along with other factors, gave defense an advantage over offense, and the Dodgers moved to take advantage of this by assembling a team that would excel with its pitching.

Slumping Dodgers need to deal veterans at deadline
Out here in Los Angeles, the Dodgers have infamously won only one playoff game since 1988. But they've been in contention for a playoff berth nearly every season, especially before the non-waiver trading deadline. Not surprisingly, the team has consistently been what you would call a "buyer" that entire time. And it has pretty much gotten them nowhere -- they've been doing a steady jog on the also-rans' treadmill.

It was 15 years ago that Nomar Garciaparra left his home in Whittier, Calif.

From potential to stardom to, eventually, despondency, Garciaparra, injured, finished his 10th big league season last summer with the dysfunctional Chicago Cubs. "I've been away so long," Garciaparra said. "This would have been different early in my career." This was to introduce his new station in life, playing a new position for a new team with new management, but doing it back home, for the Dodgers, who he grew up with, at Dodger Stadium, the first big-league park he ever saw.

Los Angeles- The Los Angeles Dodgers pursuit of Gold Glove Catcher Bengie Molina of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim had ended as of now with the Los Angeles Dodgers not making a formail offer to Molina, who has told several sources that he is willing to sit out the entire upcoming season if he doesnt received the annual salary he is seeking which is believed to be in the $6 million range.... "I think I have done enough to deserve something,"Bengie Molina of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim told sources on Saturday while attending an alumni game at Arizona Western Community College. "If I don't get that type of deal, I think I'm willing to sit out and see what happens next year. I hope it doesn't come to that."Despite the fact he is one of the best available players in this winter's unusually thin free-agent market,Bengie Molina strangely remains unsigned. TheLos Angeles Dodgers' interest in him had more to do with his stature as a player than any need the club was trying to address. TheLos Angeles Dodgers already have Dioner Navarro, who was solid enough last season to take over the every-day job as a rookie, and six-time All-Star Sandy Alomar as Navarro's backup. Prospect Russell Martin, whom some in the organization believe is a better all-around player than Navarro, is no more than a year away.The Los Angeles Dodgers interest subsided once it became clear Bengie Molina of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was seeking more money than they club was willing to offer,the Los Angeles Dodgers have committed 86.53 million to 19 players,"I got a pretty good idea of what they were looking for, and it's not something we're inclined to do right now,"Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said Sunday. "We're fine, in my mind, if we open the season with Navarro and Alomar and if we have Russell Martin at Triple-A gaining more experience, that won't bother me one bit."

Alan Nero, Molina's Chicago-based agent, said Sunday he was unaware theLos Angeles Dodgers no longer were interested in his client.Their have been widespread rumors that the New York Mets offered a three-year $18 million contract to Bengie Molina, an offer that he reportedly turned down, but a source close to the New York Mets organization said that the offer was pulled from the table without giving Bengie Molina of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim a chance to decide on the matter, due to the fact that the New York Mets acquired Catcher Paul LoDuca from the Florida Marlins....Bengie Molina, 31, became a free agent last fall when the Los Angeles Angel sof Anaheim declined even to make him an offer following his sixth season as their primary catcher. Molina was coming off arguably his best year offensively; he batted a career-high .295, hit a career-high 15 homers and driven in 69 runs, But Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim officials were convinced their young catching corps of Jose Molina and prospects Jeff Mathis and Mike Napoli was strong enough that they could withstand losing Bengie Molina, and the money it would have taken to re-sign him would be better spent elsewhere.The Los Angeles Dodgers would strengthen their defense greatly if they were able to acquire Molina but are in good hands with two solid players, so its a win/win situation for the Los Angeles Dodgers
