Question 9: Will the TV contract situation ever get fixed?

Are the Dodgers ever going to fix their TV broadcast fiasco?  While it doesn’t impact me since I live on the East Coast and stream it through MLB .com, I sympathize with my fellow Dodger fans and stand in solidarity with them!

Question 10: Will the Dodgers finally retire the numbers of these franchise greats?

Do the Dodgers feel bad for waiting so long to honor legendary pitcher, Don Newcombe, that he passed away before his Legends of Dodger Baseball induction ceremony?  If they don’t, they should.

Are the Dodgers finally going to get over their own inferiority complex and retire the numbers of team legends regardless of what Hall of Fame voters do?  You think the Yankees wait to be told who their great players were?

You know who your legends are, you don’t need someone else to validate you.  And if they’re really not sure, I’ll give them a few to start with: Gil Hodges (this is an absolute travesty as far as I’m concerned), Maury Wills, Fernando Valenzuela, Carl Furillo, Steve Garvey, Orel Hershiser, and yes, Mike Piazza.

These are just some of the questions facing the Dodgers in 2019, some will get answer quickly but some may take all season to figure out.  Go blue!
