Did you see how CLASSY the Dodgers were? They came out and congratulated/shooks hands with the Cardinals after the Cardinals clenched it. That is so refreshing....

Julieboo, I did and I love to see any team show such class. As a true blue Dodger fan <ducks!>, I have to say, it was a fun season attending some home games and I especially loved the way they bring Gagne out to the mound to close....it's all hype and entertainment but GOLLY GEE, it's SOOO much fun when you're there in person. Congratulations to the Cardinals!!

DId the Twins congratulate the Yankees? Did the Angels congratulate the Red Sox? Just curious. Why don't major league teams do that after every game-like little league games do? It is kinda of sad that they don't. And why don't they? Is it cuz they can't be nice to the team they lose to? I neither liked nor disliked the Dodgers, but now I think they are great role models!

Being from the San Francisco bay area, I have never been a Dodgers fan but last night, they showed such class! I was so impressed and thought, now this is sportsmanship at it's best. Every team should do this. You talk about athletes being role models for kids, they should have just seen how the Dodgers were at the end of this game.

Apparently Larry Walker (Cardinals right fielder) is a big hockey fan and hockey teams do congratulate each other in the finals. So he talked to Tony LaRussa (Cards mgr.) about it, who in turn, talked to Jim Tracy (Dodger mgr.) before the series. At that point they talked about it but didn't for sure agree to do it. Then when the clenching game ended, LaRussa made a handshake signal to Tracy, who nodded and then they all shook hands. How cool is that? And why don't ALL major league games end that way?

Well, we here in the bay are , have always known that Tony LaRussa is a class act. I just think that it was wonderful all the way around. They all seemed to sincerely mean it. A picture of this is really worth a thousand words.

Egbob has the Dodger game on TV right now (vs. San Diego). I just had to post that the Dodgers are wearing new uniforms. Instead of Los Angeles (away uniform) or Dodgers (home uniform) written across their jerseys, they have Brooklyn and it looks really cool. Vin Scully just mentioned that today is the 50th Anniversary of when Jackie Robinson broke into the big leagues and so Egbob thinks they're wearing the Brooklyn uniform to honor Jackie. I used Dodger Blue to honor Jackie as well. GO DODGERS!!

its the 58th anniv of jackie robinson today - and its jackie robinson day throughout all baseball - i am glad the dodgers are wearing their throwback uniforms... its about time!!!! one of the greatest bios i ever read was about jackie and it just was awesome writing and detail - not only about him but history about the places and events in his life, like where he grew up near pasadena - so i am all for the brooklyn dodgers, except when the New York giants beat them with bobby tompson's homerun... greatest radio call ever and i have a photo of him running to home plate and you see the back of jackie robinson in the outfield, hand on hip, and he realizes they just lost the pennant to these nobody Giants lol.... thanks for the post eggie

i dated a pitcher by the name of matt keough. he was a real cutie. he wanted to get engaged, and i wasn't ready. he didn't want to wait, and it just wasn't right.
