PrintNate Silverblatt asked us if any Dodger fans are from Houston.
Today would be a good forum for frequent posters - lurkers to let us know where they hail from. Use the thread to make it happen. For example I'm from West Fernando Valley, anyone else from that area do a reply.
I know we have one commentator from France, I'd hope we have some folks deployed reading us. If so let us know.

campus is great, but the administration makes life HELL, and the area is a retirement community that is now watched over by 3 police departments. It’s a great location if you want to go visit the surrounding areas, it’s a terrible place to live and to try to get a degree from.

my visiting was in
the late 70s early 80s. sounds like it changed since then, could be me mis-remembering but I recall it as a college town feel, at least around campus

on campus living and the campus itself are great. It’s adjoining to Rancho Cotati High School so the surrounding streets cater to a lot of cheap quick eateries and whatnot, which is nice, but after the first block or two it’s very much a town of apartment complexes and senior living villages. It’s BYOFun or you’re not having any.
Won’t complain about the proximity to SF and Napa though.

We might but I think I'm a little older than you (graduated high school in 2000)

Yea I was hoping for it too. Would have been cool.
Dude was always on track for the pros. He was hitting in the cages with a wood bat when we were 11. His Dad was an actor with free time and was really into baseball, so he spent a lot of extra time with Connor working on hitting. He was also a 3B back then, but nothing special defensively other than having a good arm.
yeah, you're a little older than I am
we would have just missed each other. If you played basketball, there’s a better chance you would have known someone I know.

JJ24 discovered we also have a mutual friend (which makes sense given the work JJ does and when I spent my free time doing more important things like community based volunteering).
The most important thing to note, his bride, was instructed in how to steal a base by Maury Wills if I recall correctly.
This is a true story. Don’t forget that she was also taught how to hit by Mike Davis. I have the videos to prove it :)

first 25 years lived in Elysian Valley (Frogtown), moved to Eagle Rock, then to Glendale… Got married & moved to Tacoma, WA and now living in Puyallup, Wa. Still missing Tommy’s, In-N-Out, Phillipe’s & some good tamales.
I have not seen or heard “Frogtown” in quite some time – just about in the shadow of Dodger Stadium. I grew up in Mt. Washington. Miss that kind of proximity to DS.
I have actually attended the Western Washington State Fair in Puyallup once. 1995 I think.

Speaking of 1990 Dodgers and the 100th anniversary celebration
back to Silverwidow in the last thread…
in Palm Springs, our local access station, which was channel 10, ran something like 24 or 48 hours straight of Dodger footage to commemorate the 100th anniversary. Of course, I taped none of it.
I still have the 1988 NBA Finals, Game 7 on VHS, complete with an index card with notations of various plays (the Byron Scott dunk to open the second half, the Michael Cooper three-pointers, etc) using the old counter system on my mom’s old VCR.

I got that game too! Plus the first night game at Wrigley and a bunch of old Indiana Hoosier basketball games when I lived in Bloomington.
The Calbert Chaney Era?
I remember the first night game at Wrigley Field was scheduled for 8/8/88, which happened to be my aunt’s 40th b-day. I believe we watched the game the next night at my cousin’s house, but I wasn’t home to tape it.

Yeah, that game ended up getting rained out. My video from that game is all staticky b/c of the thunderstorms.
And yes, we lived in Bloomington for the ’87 National Championship with Steve alford and Keith Smart. When I was UCSD, I might have been the only kid trying to emulate Calbert Cheaney during the IM games. I even wore his jouney at RIMAC.

Don't forget the cheese bread
if MammothDodger comes down, I’ll buy his ticket(s) but he has to bring down some Schat’s Cheesebread (plain and jalepeno)
And not from Mammoth but from Bishop.
Schat’s is amazing. They have a little satellite shop in Mammoth though, so he could probably bring the cheesebread, hop on a plane and skip Bishop and the 5 hour drive.
The Mammoth shop and the Bishop shop are run by two different Schat brothers and are separate businesses, I think. Perhaps something about how their parents’ estate was settled.

Are they same bread?
I first visited the area in 1980, while I have skied there, I also spent time fishing, it is really relaxing, need to go do that again.
i guess the way to say it is they evolved from the same recipe
it might be the extra 2500 feet of elevation that makes the mammoth bread a little more doughy and the bishop bread a little lighter. I enjoy both but given a choice i agree with bhsportsguy I’ll take the Bishop version.

12. Freeman
I must not fear .Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
Good list. Mine would start with Rodgers and Brees, though.
I also think Freeman (monster year coming up) should be above Cutler.
Freeman was tough for me
he had a monster year this year, and was actually better then cutler, but that was just one year.

I honestly think Manning is still the best
The pass blocking on the Colts has been atrocious the last 2 years.

When Manning has all of his weapons, he is pretty incredible. But I just really like Rodgers’ upside, scrambling ability, and receivers (minus Driver).
Well sure
they have the better offense right now, but purely QB vs QB Manning still is the best imho.

thankfully I am one of those guys that doesn’t sweat it. we made our choice and we deal with it and were trying to get out, refinance maybe short sale-were just now really trying to deal with it with our lender (USAA which they are tough)…. It does not affect my day to day happiness.
Heck Coletti affects my day to day happiness more. lol

North Carolina checking in...
born and raised in North Carolina – brainwashed Dodger fan
places I've lived
born in glendale (ca not az). Lived in Sunland, Glendale, Tujunga, Sun Valley, Burbank and La Crescenta while growing up (not nessecarily in that order). I currently live in Newhall (Santa Clarita). I go to about 30 dodger games per year. I would go to every game if I had the time/money.
Salt Lake City, Utah
Yes I’m Mormon. No, I only have one wife..:) I am not a Prop 8 Supporter…so lets not go there.
I like the name
I’m in SLC also – but grew up in Bakersfield, and my introduction to the Dodgers was listening to a transistor radio (early 70’s) as a kid, and Vin was painting a pitcher. I’ve been a Dodger fan ever since. I moved to SLC in 94, on the day of the Northridge earthquake, but still follow the Dodgers as much as possible.

I am old enough to have been a 16 year old with season tickets to the 68 Ogden Dodgers compliments of my best friends mom, Mrs. Fage. Of course at the time, I don’t even know if I knew the managers name. Tommie something .Ha
Just wanted to represent and say that it is a pleasure to be a part of this. Dodger Nation, or I should say World.

LOUISIANA...the other LA
Anybody repping the other LA yet?
Born and raised in Northeast Louisiana. Aside from a couple of Army National Guard relocations (Ft Leonard Wodd, MO for 5 months and Afghanistan for 1 miserable year), I live, lived and will prolly die in Louisiana.
Monroe, LA claim to Dodger fame: Ben Sheets went to the hometown University, ULM, and got married here with Mr. Tommy Lasorda in attendance.
Sweet Home Chicago!
In addition to catching the Dodgers at Wrigley each year and at the Cell the years they come (including 2011), I try to go to their series in Miller Park as well…
Dodger Fans all over the world
Well.. I’m from The Netherlands (yep, Europe, the small country next to Germany) and a big Dodger fan since 1981. Check out my Dodger blog on dutchdodger.blogspot.com or visit me on Facebook. Will be at the April 14th game against the Cards.
Dodger Fan in Utah
I tried to post earlier, but had to wait 24 hours after I registered. I love the site and have been reading for over a year. This thread finally got me sign up.
I was born in Glendale and lived in La Crescenta until I will 11, when my family moved to Utah.
My father took me to my first game when I was 4. Steve Garvey hit a home run that night. After that, he was my favorite player. I was crushed when he left the Dodgers.
Dodger fan in Boise, Idaho
Have been following TrueBlue LA since 2009. Been a Dodger fan my whole life. Mother grew up in Whittier, her stepdad was a big Dodger fan and would listen to Vin on the radio. She became a big fan of the 1970s teams. Then she moved to Idaho met my dad and I was born. My first Dodger memory is Kirk Gibson’s home run. My first favorite Dodger was Mike Piazza. I’ve been following the team every season since 1995. Went to an interleague game in Seattle in 1997. Piazza hit one, Karros hit two. The only problem was Junior, Edgar, Paul Sorrento did too. Then Russ Davis hit one in the bottom of the ninth (or in extras) to beat us. The Kingdome was a gray concrete dump. One day I’ll make to Dodger Stadium.
should
probably change my SB name, because I now live in Suburban Chicago. Sported my Dodger Colors in quite a few places including Bakersfield CA where I probably may have seen some of the early 90s Rookies of the Year play their ‘A’ ball and was just to young to remember it, Phoenix AZ, and Raleigh, NC where I graduated from the same high school as Josh Hamilton.
Dodger fan in Cheeseland
I live in Wisconsin, but have been a Dodgers fan since the 70s’. Finally went to my 1st game at Dodger Stadium in 2005. My wife said my face looked just like my kids did on their 1st trip to Disneyland. Go Blue!
