I am a diehard Dodger fan and have loved the Dodgers since I was a very young child. I grew up going to the games and listening to Vin Scully describe the action. I was excited to jump into yet another retrospective on Dodger Blue, but unfortunately found that there isn't anything new here. The author takes the reader through some fairly standard Dodger history moments, consistantly interjecting the narrative with factoids and certain little known facts. However, though I found parts of this story to be fun, overall I felt the writing lacked consistancy, and the narrative was jumpy and confusing. The author seems like a kind enough fellow, but his writing could use some polish and editing. This book seems to pull a lot of its information from other, already known Dodger tomes, such as True Blue, The Illustrated History of the Dodgers, and The Dodger Encyclopedia. If you are looking for real Dodger history, check those out, and if you just want something light and fun to plow through while you wait for the season to start, I would check out 101 Reasons to Love The Dodgers.
