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.

It was a doubleheader night of retainment at the Golden Boy Promotions fight card inside Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino. The event center packed in a sold-out crowd for an eight-bout showcase streamed live on DAZN.
The main event featured a clash for the WBO World Minimum as Puerto Rican champion Oscar Collazo (13-0, 10 KO’s) defended against Filipino challenger Jayson Vayson (14-2-1, 8 KO’s) in a scheduled 12-round bout.
Collazo wasted no time, landing a clean right hand in the first round that sent Vayson flying. The challenger managed to rise before the bell, but Collazo kept up the pressure, controlling the exchanges and keeping Vayson against the ropes by the sixth round. In the seventh, officials motioned to referee Thomas Taylor to halt the bout after Vayson went moments without responding to Collazo’s punishment. The fight was stopped at 1:41 of the round, awarding Collazo a knockout victory.

Saturday night, Elite Boxing Promotions presented their Evolution 20 fight night at Bishop Mora Salesian High School. The event featured nine bouts of professional boxing.

Rebollar led the fight with heavy body shots, while Alvarado moved around the ring without much counter for most of the bout. It wasn’t until the fourth round that Alvarado picked up the pace and began firing back. The bout was scored 60-54 in favor of Rebollar. With the win, Rebollar improves to 9-5 (3 KOs).
In the super lightweight division, Obed Sepulveda (1-7-1) faced Damian Carillo (7-0, 3 KOs) in a four-round contest. Carillo controlled the fight with his left jab. In the second round, he landed a left hook to the body followed by a hard right to the face. Sepulveda fired back but mostly stayed covered up, wary of Carillo’s power.

American fighters such as Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez and David Benavidez are new editions along with Russian light heavyweights such as Dmitrii Bivol and Artur Beterbiev.

It compares to feats accomplished by former greats such as Henry Armstrong, Sugar Ray Robinson and a small group of others.
Despite naysayers who claimed Crawford was moving up too much at one time, the
