Woodland Hills, CA – been a fan since I heard Willie Davis drop three fly balls in the 66 World Series on Armed Forces Radio in Frankfurt, Germany. More to it then that, but that cemented the relationship. I’ve now lived in Los Angeles since 1969.

Los Angeles, Ca but now live in Boulder, Co

-Been a fan since my dad bought me a youth Brett Butler shirt in order to inspire me to be a baseball fan and a leadoff hitter in teeball.

Currently live in the high desert. Grew up in Palm Springs, went to college at UCSD and lived in SD for 14 years. Started watching the Dodgers as a child, either 1983 or 1984. Started collecting baseball cards in 1985, which was my first full year as a follow-every-game fan.

I watched the Jack Clark Game after school at my grandma’s house, and if I would have had a glove with me, I would have thrown it at the same time Pedro Guerrero did.

I went to two games in 1988: the Franklin Stubbs grand slam, 7-run rally against the Cards, and Game 2 of the World Series. Game 2 was a Sunday night game, and I brought my ticket stub to school the next day, to show fellow 7th graders when they asked what I did over the weekend.

Born and raised in Saugus, California (Santa Clarita Valley)…left california to go to college at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. I will graduate in May of 2010. Had mlb.tv when i was in the dorms but now that i got a place ive upgraded to extra innings haha

I’ve been a Dodger fan since before I can remember. My mom says I started watching games at the age of 4. The most memorable game I attended was the Ramon Martinez NO-NO.

Originally from Ventura County – now living in Ocean Beach (San Diego). The first Dodger games I remember watching as a kid was the 1988 NLCS against the Mets – and it’s been a Gravy Train with Biscuit Blue Wheels ever since!!!

Woot, Woot!!!

Grew up in Northridge, CA. Currently living with my wife in Simi Valley, CA. Been a fan my whole life I guess. I didn’t really start appreciating baseball until after my freshman year in college. I thought I was, “too cool” to really be “into” sports in high school, so I had a sports reneissance when I was 18 years old. Been a pretty hardcore fan ever since.

Sounds like we have quite a few Dodger fans living in San Diego. Maybe a True Blue train trip to San Diego for a game is in the future.

Born and raised in Venice, CA. I was 16 years old and already a rabid fan when they won it all in 1988. In fact, I collected all the local newspapers [ha!] when we won the division and immediately threw them all away when we lost that first game to the Mets in the 9th inning. I’m currently enjoying this year more than any I can ever recall. I’ve been following the farm system extremely closely ever since we nabbed Loney, and my enjoyment of this team has a lot to do with its home-grown makeup.

I was born in a spanish only speaking family that followed the Dodgers because of Jaime Jarrin. I wore my first Dodger cap when i was 1 year old. Been following Dodger baseball ever since and have been a season ticket holder for 3 years now. I currently live in Corona and try to make it out to Chavez Ravine at least twice a month.

I’ve made a few posts, but never really introduced myself. I’m a Dodgers fan out East, born and raised and still residing in Indiana. I largely credit my fandom to my father, who became a Dodgers fan since they were on TV every weekend in his youth in the early 60’s. It certainly helped not having a local team (though most out here cling to the Cubs and Reds), but my first season is interest was 1994 as a ten year old who saw baseball as a natural extension beyond basketball, but really became a fan of the team the following year.

But my family lives in Torrance, CA. And I was born and raised most of my life in Echo Park. And lived a couple of years in the small neighborhood at the base near Dodger Stadium.

Sadly, my Dodgers fandom came a bit later than that.

Operating with a (very) short bench is real stupid.

While they’re at it, it’s time to go back to 12 pitchers. I’m not sure if they want to bring DeWitt up AGAIN, but another left handed stick is desperately needed.

my dad grew up in Fullerton cheering on the Dodgers since they moved west, he went to games at the Coliseum with his dad, he passed on that tradition to me even though I grew up in Utah, I was eight years old when Gibson went deep and made me a Dodger fan for life, been to Dodger Stadium multiple times and also seen the Dodgers play many times on the road, we go to Spring Training every year and are adjusting to Glendale as opposed to Vero Beach, I feel that this season is something magical

Born in Pasadena as a Dodger fan and lived there until I was 8. Moved to Colorado, during the 90’s, and was more concerned with following the Broncos and Avalanche than converting to a Rockies fan (thank god!). Moved back to Southern California for high school, then went up to Northern California for college. I do not know if it was ‘you don’t know how much you miss something until its gone’ or the fact I was surrounded by Giants fans but this is where my love for the Dodgers grew…. I lived off MLBtv. I came back home after I finished school in December. I was too young to remember ’88, but love watching the replays. With that said, most of of my memories are recent ones. I was able to get a tease of ST in Arizona in 2008, when the Dodgers were out there for a bit, but look forward to starting a tradition of going every year.

I was born and raised, and still live in, the great state of Rhode Island. My town’s about an hour and a half south of Boston. I’m a Red Sox fan because of where I live, and because of my dad and my late grandfather. ‘Round about ’04, I thought it would be cool to follow an NL team, too, and since I already knew a lot about the Dodgers’ history (I’m a big baseball history buff), I started following them. And now I’ve been sucked in completely. I spend more time with the Dodgers than I do with the Red Sox these days but I follow both of them very closely. It’s a wonder I don’t have an ulcer. Yet.

I turned into a major Dodgers fan when I was in 6th grade. My school was actually mentored by the Dodgers organization, so we got to do a lot of activities with the team. Our school choir sang the National Anthem and I even graduated at the stadium club. I also got to work for a day at Tommy Lasorda’s office. Despite being swept by the Reds in the playoffs that year, I was hooked.

Since then, I have finally become a regular at Dodgers Stadium, but still not a season ticket holder quite yet. But remembering the 5 consecutive ROYs, Nomo’s no-hitter in Colorado, and the Dodgers finally winning their first playoff series since 88, I hug my Jackie Robinson jersey and hope I will witness a Dodgers World Series. Perhaps my proudest moment was witnessing them go 13-0 live, and the most painful being there when they lost their next game.

You all have some great memories so feel free to write about them (FanPost) , you would be surprised at how many readers would be interested.
