How did the Dodgers Do On Your Birthday?

So I’ll do my husband’s birthday

May 16, 1977
Dodgers lost 10-6 to the Phillies at the Vet
Tommy John was the losing pitcher. Randy Lerch was the winning pitcher
Garvey, Monday and Baker were all 2-4.

4-0 on my parents’ b-days (two doubleheaders, one against the Cubs, another the Reds).
0-4 on my and my two brothers (against the Cardinals, Astros, and a doubleheader against the Expos).

Interestingly, none were played at Dodger Stadium.

and me share the same birthdate

on March 28, but longtime actor Richard Arlen died on that day, and he’s buried at the same cemetery as Walter O’Malley, so that’s something.

The two times I have been to spring training (once in Vero, once in AZ) I have seen the Dodgers play on my birthday. They are 1-1.

On the day I entered the world at UC San Francisco, the Dodgers lost nine miles away at Candlestick Park to SF 5-8 with three errors in front of a whopping 13,872 on their way to getting swept for the series.

Grrrrrrrr.

Steve Garvey went 2 for 4 with a double and home rum. Thanks Steve.

Al Downing with an ERA of 2.92 gave up 8 earned runs (Al, it was my birthday you jerk) and lost to Randy Moffitt who picked up his only win of the season on his way to going 1-5 that season, (had to be that day didn’t it Randy?).

Bonds grrrrr (Bobby) went 1 for 5.

. . . and SF sucked that year (more than usual)

God, I hate the giants!
