It takes a very thick skin to be a Dodger fan while living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was born in Los Angeles and grew up obsessing over the Dodgers with my dad. A move to Frisco didn't deter me from sticking with my team despite the cool waterfront stadium and the constant barbs from hardcore Giants' fans. I love thinking, talking, and writing about the Dodgers; it’s sort of a disease, and one that I know a cure doesn’t exist, at least not in my case. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
