The Los Angeles Dodgers has been a successful baseball team ever since its shift to Los Angeles in 1958. Since then, the ownership of this team has been in the hands of Peter O’Malley and Frank McCourt. As per the latest news goes, the Los Angeles Dodgers will soon have a new owner. This announcement came as a shock to most people as speculations have been made about the team’s ownership for months, with frank McCourt insisting that he does not wish to sell the team. Many fans are happy to see the ownership finally change hands and they have showed their support of this decision by buying more Dodgers tickets.
Frank McCourt became the owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the year 2004. For the past 8 years, he has tried his level best to retain the team, but he has now, officially lost the battle that he has been fighting in two courts. Frank McCourt has reached upon an agreement to hand over the team to a new owner. It is expected that by the first season opening in 2012, a new owner will have taken over entirely.
The official announcement made regarding this subject says that Major League Baseball along with Frank McCourt will put up a combined appeal to the Bankruptcy Court of the United States of America to sell the team by auctioning it. This decision has been taken by Frank McCourt after coming to the conclusion that it will be better to auction the team rather than facing a trial in the Bankruptcy court. The auction taking place will include the entire package of the Los Angeles Dodgers team, including the stadium and the parking lots. The entire Los Angeles Dodgers Franchise will thus soon be under the hammer.
The official statement also said that the sale process of this auction will be managed by Blackstone Group LP. The Los Angeles Dodgers franchise is expected to fetch a fortune anywhere in between$ 750 million to $ 1 billion, which is thrice the amount at which Frank McCourt has purchased it. It is expected that this auction will change the current situation of chaos that is surrounding this franchise, get it out of its state of bankruptcy and restore its former glory. Many fans have waited a long time for the Dodgers to come back. They hope that their Dodgers tickets might finally be worth something again.
Clearing out the air of uncertainty about the team and sorting out all the issues that have led to its bankruptcy would be the task at hand for the new owner. Once these issues are sorted out, the amount of Dodgers tickets are expected to increase. Most of the major names in the sports industry are bidding for the Los Angeles Dodgers team. Mark Cuban, NBA’s owner along with Dennis Gilbert, the executive of Chicago White Sox and Dallas Maverick are expected to bid. There is also a possibility that Alec Gores and Alan Casden could bid. Rumours also say that Ron Burkle and the owner of the Milwaukee Brewers, Mark Attanasio might place individual bids. Tom Werner, who is the current Chairman of the Boston Red Sox, is also in the position to bid.
The fate of the Los Angeles Dodgers is currently unclear but this scenario is expected to soon change for the better. Everyone is anxiously waiting for the change, so that they may know its still a good investment to buy Dodgers tickets.
The Los Angeles Dodgers has a rich tradition as a professional baseball team. It has its humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York before moving to Los Angeles prior to the 1958 season. The Dodgers has always been a perennial contender in most of the franchise history. What you are about to read is a short recap of their 2010 season – their final standings, the highs and lows of their campaign, and the players that contributed to the success and failure of the team. So read on what they have accomplished last year.
The Los Angeles Dodgers finished the regular season just below the .500 mark with a record of 80 wins and 82 losses. That puts them ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the final standings which is good enough to land them in fourth place of the National League Western Division. They finished twelve games behind from the eventual division champion – the San Francisco Giants. Very clearly, the Dodgers did not performed on the road as well as on their home turf, as reflected from the following records: 35 wins, 46 losses road record and 45 wins, 36 losses home record.
Their finest moment came during the month of May, when they ended up with 20 wins and 8 losses. They faced 8 different teams, and this is how the month ended up for them against these opponents:
* Pittsburgh Pirates – 2 wins, 0 losses
* Milwaukee Brewers – 1 win, 2 losses
* Colorado Rockies – 4 wins, 2 losses
* Arizona Diamondbacks – 4 wins, 0 losses
* San Diego Padres – 4 wins, 1 loss
* Houston Astros – 2 wins, 0 losses
* Detroit Tigers – 2 wins, 1 loss
* Chicago Cubs – 1 win, 2 losses
Likewise, their lowest moment happened during the homestretch in the months of September and October. The LA Dodgers finished their season with a losing record of 12 wins and 17 losses during that period. That performance pretty much explains why they finished below the .500 mark. Here is how they matched up during that stretch:
* Philadelphia Phillies – 0 wins, 1 loss
* San Francisco Giants – 2 wins, 4 losses
* San Diego Padres – 1 win, 5 losses
* Houston Astros – 2 wins, 2 losses
* Colorado Rockies – 4 wins, 2 losses
* Arizona Diamondbacks – 3 wins, 3 losses
Despite the Dodgers poor form and uneven performance, four players made it to the 2010 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. They are:
* Andre Ethier – starter
* Hong-Chih Kuo – reserve
* Jonathan Broxton – reserve
* Rafael Furcal – reserve
Rafael Furcal, incidentally, became the National League Player of the Week from June 28 to July 4. But as good as the performance of these four players are, most of their teammates had a forgettable 2010 season. These following players must get their acts together if they want their team to reclaim the top position in their division:
* Tony Gwynn Jr., Outfield – 2010 statistics: (.204 BA, 3 HR, 20 RBI) poor average of stolen bases.
* Rod Barajas, C – 2010 statistics: (.240, 17, 47) sub-par batting average.
* Jay Gibbons, Outfield/PH – 2010 statistics: (.280 BA, 5 HR, 17 RBI) disabled list with a vision problem in the left eye.
* Casey Blake, 3B – 2010 statistics: (.248, 17, 64) had just a .727 OPS in 2010 season.
* James Loney, 1B – 2010: (.267, 10, 88) must improve on his batting average.
* Chad Billingsley, SP – 2010 statistics: (12-11, 3.57 ERA) needs consistency in his performance.
* Andre Ethier, Rf – 2010 statistics: (.292 BA, 23, 82) suffered a broken finger after the All Star break last season.
* Jonathan Broxton, RP – 2010 statistics: (4.04 ERA, 22 saves, seven blown saves) struggles after the All Star break after a scintillating first half.
* Matt Kemp, CF – 2010 statistics: (.249, 28, 89) his performance regressed in almost every category.
Overall, the Los Angeles Dodgers performance left much to be desired in the 2010 regular season. Many players did not play up to their expectations after having a wonderful season in 2009. Many attributed the team’s poor performance to the divorce proceedings in the off season between the owner of the team and chairman Frank McCourt and his wife Jamie, who incidentally was the CEO of the Dodgers during that time. But with this issue out of the way in 2011, the team is expected to regain its old and devastating form.
As a young man, Don Mattingly was known for his positive attitude. Don led his high school baseball team to fifty-nine straight victories setting a state record in Indiana. In 1978 and 1979, Mattingly was All City, All Conference, and All State in baseball. During his four year high school career Don batted a very impressive .463. After high school Don accepted a baseball scholarship to Indiana State, but was then drafted by the Yankees and decided to start his pro career.
During his time in the minors from 1979 to1981, Don batted .316 or better and he was moved to the majors late in the 1982 season. His first full year in the majors Mattingly played on a part-time basis at first base and in the outfield. In 1984, Don garnered the starting first base position and was an MVP candidate when he owned the AL batting title hitting .343 with 207 hits. The 1985 season was just as impressive for Mattingly who was once again the MVP in the American League batting .324, with 35 home runs and 145 RBI’s. That year he also won the first of nine Golden Gloves.
During the 1986 and 1987 seasons Don was still very impressive, achieving 238 league leading hits, batting .352, with 31 home runs; hitting home runs in eight consecutive games and six grand slams. In 1987 Mattingly began having back problems and his impressive stats began to wain. Don underwent extensive physical therapy, but his impressive physical prowess was never restored. Don continued to play some, spent extended periods on the injured list, perhaps biding his time.
From 1997 to 2003, Mattingly had a position as a special instructor during spring training for the Yankees. In 2003, Don was named as the Yankees hitting coach. In 2006, Mattingly became the Yankees bench coach.
In 2007, Mattingly followed Joe Torre to the Los Angeles Dodgers to act as the hitting coach, but due to family problems he stepped down from that role and became a special assignment coach. On July 9, 2008, Mattingly resumed the position of hitting coach and the Dodgers made the playoffs and repeated that success in 2009. When Joe Torre retired in 2010, Mattingly accepted the position of manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers and on March 31, 2011, he got his first win in Dodger Stadium against San Francisco.
The Dodgers 2011 season was plagued with both injured players and dismal play. At the All-Star break the Dodgers were ten games under .500, but Mattingly stayed positive about the Dodgers chances to get back in the mix, even though critics said it was impossible. In the end, Don’s lifelong positive approach paid off and the Dodgers went 41 and 28 after the break and Mattingly was looking like a winner again.
Looking forward to the 2012 season it seems that Mattingly is going to need more than his positive attitude for a winning season. Everyone agrees that the Dodgers need a big hitter and there are no prospects on the horizon. Mattingly has been candid in saying that the 2012 season is not looking promising. Mattingly said lots of ideas are being considered and that he is a believer in having a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C in place. Positive attitude has traditionally been a key to winning for Mattingly and he is familiar with success, so it is probably best not to count the Dodgers out of the game.
