Blog Kiosk: 3/28/2019 - Dodger Links - It is Opening Day!

Opening Day, Baby!

Above is a look at the two new patches the Dodgers will be wearing this season. First, you can see the MLB 150 patch that celebrates 150 years of professional Baseball and will be worn by every team in the league. Above that is the Don Newcombe memorial patch, via a tweet from Arash Markazi.

• This Day in Dodgers History: In 1970 Dodger Stadium was host to the "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial All-Star Baseball Classic". All-Star teams were assembled that included Joe DiMaggio as manager of the East and Roy Campanella as manager of the West team. Ron Fairly of Montreal and Ron Santo of the Chicago Cubs hit home runs as the East claimed victory, 5-1. In 1991 the Dodgers released legend and longtime Dodger hurler Fernando Valenzuela.  Per an AP article in the Lodi News-Sentinel:

"I will never forget Fernando and all he has done for me and the Los Angeles Dodgers," manager Tom Lasorda said. "It was a privilege and honor to manage him over the years because he was without a doubt a great talent and a great competitor. I want to thank him for all the memories."
