When Joe Torre came west to take over as the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers after all his success with the New York Yankees, fans were understandably excited about their team’s chances. But there was some concern about how Torre (or any other manager) would do considering the Dodgers did not have an unlimited payroll like the Yankees seem to have. It turns out that Torre has proven to be a great manager period, regardless of the payroll or if his team is in the American League or National League. In his first two seasons with the Dodgers he took them to a title in the National League West division and a spot in the NLCS. Although he has yet to take them to the World Series, he already has four championship rings and it would be no surprise to see him get a fifth, especially with the talent on the Dodgers roster. Get your Los Angeles Dodgers tickets now so that you can follow them all season long.

Although the history of the Dodgers goes back to the late 1800s, they didn’t officially become the Dodgers until ’32 and they went through a series of names before that, including the Grooms, Bridegrooms and Robins. They also shook the world of Major League Baseball when they moved from Brooklyn to LA in ’58. While New Yorkers were wondering what happened to their team, fans in Los Angeles came out in droves to buy LA Dodgers tickets to see their boys in blue.

The team played at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium for four seasons until Dodger Stadium opened in ’62. That’s been the home of the Dodgers ever since, and unlike some of the other older MLB ballparks, Chavez Ravine has stood the test of time and is still considered one of the best places to watch a baseball game. Surprisingly, only Wrigley Field and Fenway Park are older than Dodger Stadium among Major League ballparks. Part of the reason for its longevity is that the stadium has undergone a series of renovations over the years, including a recent $500 million project that included the addition of shops, restaurants and a Dodgers museum to the area. It’s one of the sport’s iconic stadiums, and you can be there with Dodgers baseball tickets from GoTickets.com.
