Embedded Files
In a year with all eyes focused on the Los Angeles Dodgers possibly winning the 2024 World Series championship, they did exactly as many predicted.
This year 2025 the Dodgers could be even better.
With the World Champion Dodgers adding a young Japanese phenom plus a proven left-handed ace to this Los Angeles squad, it could be the greatest team ever assembled.
A close inspection of this team that includes Shohei Ohtani, perhaps the greatest baseball player ever seen, along with future Hall of Fame candidates Clayton Kershaw, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and maybe Brett Snell, this 2025 Dodgers version could be chasing other powerhouse teams like the 1998 New York Yankees, the 1975 Cincinnati Reds, and the 1927 Yankees as the greatest team ever.
Or, they could just be a paper tiger.
Fernando Valenzuela R.I.P.
Fernando Valenzuela never sought fame or glory, but once you handed him a baseball he turned into some mythic Aztec warrior with a stoicism uncommon for a teen.
Valenzuela passed away on Tuesday Oct. 22. He was 63.
It was 1980 when the kid from Navojoa, Mexico first pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers who were in the middle of a divisional race with the Houston Astros. Nobody knew a thing about him, but he performed well for a total of 17 innings that September.
The next year he would stun the world.

.- House of Pain So Cal Boxing, along with BXNGTV and Top Rank, took over the event center at the Soboba Casino event center Saturday night. The nearly sold-out event included seven action-packed fights.
The main event of the night was a 10-round bout between Albert Gonzalez (14-0, 7 ko’s) and Angel Antonio Contreras (16-9-2, 10 ko’s). The two featherweights sped into the first round with Contreras throwing more combinations than his heavy-hitting opponent. By the second round, Gonzalez pounded Contreras, leaving the Mexican fighter unable to respond.
Despite the heavy thuds to the body and head, Contreras continued to move forward, ducking when he could and letting go of a quick left-right to his opponent's face. In the fifth round, Gonzalez began dribbling Contreras’ face before following up with power shots to the body.
