LOS ANGELES (AP) – Opening day at Dodger Stadium is uncommonly important to Southern California sports fans. It’s also among the few team traditions that weren’t dampened during Frank McCourt’s rocky ownership tenure.
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ opener against Pittsburgh on Tuesday is doubly special this year.
The Dodgers’ venerable ballpark is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and a guy named Magic just bought the team.
Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw will be on the mound when the Dodgers look to build on a 3-1 start to the season against Kevin Correia and the Pirates.
After Angel Stadium drew more fans than Dodger Stadium for the first time last season, fans have rallied back to the Dodgers since the ownership group featuring beloved former Lakers guard Magic Johnson reached a deal last month.
