The picture of the Dodger Dog smushed on its foil wrapper is a perfect metaphor for the joys of baseball. Never error free, not always pretty, but always delicious!
What makes baseball the best sport to watch is its slow, gradual pace, its duel between the pitcher and the batter, and the role of the umpire (thank goodness for two challenges now), etc. It's a thinking person's sport -- a "hmm" sport -- except for outbursts of cheers. Like a football team moving down the field, baseball team pile up emotions during rallies. Managers' dueling wits.
Dave Roberts seems to be a first-class human being, besides being a great coach. I love him and the geriatric (wise, seasoned) Dodgers. Not being as avid/knowledgeable a baseball fan as you, I have to ask: What is an "owners' strike"? Are the multi-millionaires striking for more millions?

Pay Ball!
I'd add "Ball Four" by Jim Bouton to your book list. Great inside look at the game from a rowdy player.
My favorite day of the year!

$45 to park and to me it's robbery: yet what can we do? Go Boys in Blue...
Can’t wait until tonight, a Dodger fan since I was 10 and I’m now in my 70’s although I’ve since moved to Palm Desert.
I wonder if they’ll still have those necklaces?
