Tradition and great fan support and cardinal baseball has become what it is today , as the dodgers continue their dominance.Does it all start with ownership?

The city of St. Louis vs. the city of Los Angeles. I would hope everyone would understand all of the differences and why the Dodgers have such a huge advantage in the current MLB structure, but here we are.

For some unknown reason, going back to the Garvey Cey, Valensuala days, and continuous since then, their scouting and player development has been light years ahead of everyone else.
Now throw in the TV deals, and the fact that Japan continues to print monopoly money for them , its kind of an unbeatable formula..

So this somehow helps St.Louis become a mega market with huge tv deals and sponsorships? This helps St. Louis gain an additional 10.5 million more people that LA has over STL?

You can't be this dense.

Isn’t the Dodgers field named after a Japanese clothing company.

Because the Dodgers have a lot more money to spend on everything that makes them better:

1) MLB salaries
2) Player development
3) Scouting and analytics departments

etc.

Sadly yes it is.
Although for his sake I hope he’s just acting dense for negative attention.
As he does daily.

Been on a huge classic rock bender of late. A lifetime ago my dad gave me a doobie brothers greatest hits cd and I scoffed at the old fart music.

What happened to time ? It’s here and gone…
