Afternoon Shadows: Jay Bruce gets cut down to size
Published 2/25/2008 at Big League Stew
A late day rundown of the baseball blogosphere ... Jay Bruce may be a Reds super prospect, but his older teammates don't have any trouble reminding him where he stands. The latest hazing: Making him autograph the covers of a newspaper he appeared on, then instructing him to make deliveries to Dusty Baker and Junior Griffey, among others. It's better than getting traded to Japan, I suppose. [C. Trent Rosecrans] • Elijah Dukes says "you dead, dawg," only this time he says it (figuratively) to golf balls.
It's all about baby steps with this Dukes fellow, isn't ...
The 1986 Dodgers Had A Camcorder
Published 2/26/2008 by Matt Sussman at The Futon Report
Okay, I’m hereby convinced someone out there is going back in time and planting these videos in the 80s. That’s the only explanation for these countless music “videos” showing up in this decade, the Aughts.
Sussman: how do these keep resurfacing
Tuffy: satin floats
That’s another theory. What do you think, Rick? “[gives ‘OK sign’] It STINKS!” ◼ Fark → YouTube

Best Video … Ever? Dodgers’ Baseball Boogie
Published 2/26/2008 by TheBigLead at The Big Lead
Stop what you are doing right now and watch this video. It is called the Baseball Boogie, and it features members of the 1986 Los Angeles Dodgers (Mariano Duncan, Rick Honeycutt, Fernando Valenzuela, Pedro Guerrero, etc) singing and dancing. It’s a travesty that this video is unable to be embedded; otherwise, we’re sure this would be larger than the Super Bowl Shuffle. The level of production here, considering it was filmed in 1986, is incredible. From the satin jackets to the douchy dance moves, it is nothing short of fantastic.
THE '86 DODGERS HAD A LOT OF SATIN JACKETS

I wanna say one thing before I get to this video, and that thing is this: Hey, people who upload videos onto YouTube then disable the option to embed the video, FUCK YOU. What makes you so fucking special? "Oh, my video is too sacred to appear on any other site, la la la, look at me I voted for Nader because I oppose the two-party system." You're fucking assholes, you know that? And you're forcing me to learn needlessly complex HTML skills that I'm going to forget in twenty seconds. Die in a fire. *exhale* Much better. That said, this video ...

BASEBALL BOOGIE BUNCH (Video)
Published 2/28/2008 at BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog
BASEBALL BOOGIE BUNCH (Video) The 1986 Dodgers went 73-89. But at least they will forever be immortalized in this, the worst “Super Bowl Shuffle” rip-off of all time. Watching this video may cause nightmares, bed-wetting, aphasia, a loss of the will to live, cancer and quite possibly deafness when you rip your ears out to stop the pain. (video after jump)
Baron Davis Was Born To Roller Skate [Can't... Look... Away...]
Published 3/1/2008 by Sussman at Deadspin
Twenty two years ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers made a music video that could probably make Skip Bayless speechless. While my knowledge of what was hip back in 1986 might've escaped me -- at the time, the more pressing question was why running into solid walls hurt my forehead -- I can't imagine Orel Hershiser wearing a satin jacket was actually cool back then.
Which means 22 years from now, we might look back at this video of Golden State Warriors guard Baron Davis roller skating to the tune of "Cool It Now" in that same strange light. Those sunglasses. Those shorts. That disturbingly low-cut wifebeater. Why ...

Orel Hershiser is So White

Doing The Baseball Boogie: An 'Orel' History
Published 3/10/2008 at Big League Stew
This oral history begins in the unforgettable summer of 1986, when the Super Mario Brothers struck a blow for Italian plumber rights and the Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears taught everyone how to shuffle. In Los Angeles, the Tommy Lasorda-managed Dodgers were getting ready to follow their '85 NL West title with a disappointing 73-89 campaign that produced only one lasting memory — "The Baseball Boogie." Although the players didn't know it at the time or even get paid for their efforts, the Dodgers' satin-jacketed team dance ...
YouTube: Baseball Boogie
Published 3/10/2008 by ernest at Blue Heaven
Big League Stew was able to corner a few of the former 1986 Dodgers recently to ask about the famous video. You gotta check it out. It's has some great quotes. On Hershiser, Ken Howell said, "Well, his name is Orel, so come on, what do you expect? When I look back at that video, I think, "What move was he really trying to make?" He was dancing like he had roaches in his pockets." YouTube Link: choorel: Story Link: Big League Stew:
Disco Dodgers
Published 3/10/2008 by py at Rakin' & Slashin'
While slumming on YouTube, I found this hilarious video from 1986. Are those Members Only jackets?! So the Disco Dodgers were making videos in '86, while NY had a parade. Parade. Video. Parade. Video. Hmmmm... From a commenter on YouTube, "Please, for the love of God, make it stop!"
The Baseball Boogie

A friend sent this to me and I am mesmerized. It’s the 1986 Dodgers getting down with their bad selves. It stars Rick Honeycutt, Ken Howell, Mariano Duncan, Orel Hershiser and Mike Scoscia. I also think I saw Ed Begley Jr. in there somewhere. It’s no I Don’t Dance, but it’ll do. ...

This, you have to see. In Sunday’s Spring Training game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox, Dodgers top prospect Clayton Kershaw (Baseball Mastermind’s #5 prospect)drops a 12-6 hammer on Sean Casey that will make your jaw drop.

Out of the Blue
Published 3/27/2008 by Apryl DeLancey at Women Like Sports
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is one of those iconic stadiums in sports. First opening in 1923, it was built for just under a million dollars. When the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn in the late 1950’s, this was their first home field. Another $950,000 was spent in order to accommodate the team. While they occupied it, the Dodgers hosted an all-star game and three World Series games. In fact, the attendance for each World Series game was over 92,000 fans, a record that still stands today. The stadium was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1984, just ...
Baseball Boogie
Published 3/27/2008 by Erin at Robots Took My Medicine
I hope you don't blame me for being so late on the reports for the second game of Boston's season. But if you saw the outcome of that game, you know there is really not a whole lot for me to say. Rich Harden was superb, Jon Lester was not, and the Sox offense never bothered to show up (with the exception of Manny Ramirez, who hit a solo home run). The final score was 5-1, and I'm not sure it was even really that close. Very soon, I will get into the swing of writing about two teams everyday for six straight months. For now, I offers you just a few tidbits of news and notes. Now the Sox head ...

1981 Dodgers Appear On Solid Gold
Published 10/7/2008 at FanIQ Blog
Since the Dodgers and Phillies are squaring off in the NLCS, it only seems appropriate that we bust out some of the ridiculous team songs that both of these squads did in the past. These things are truly pure nightmare fuel, but also awesome beyond belief.
First up is the 1981 Dodgers' Jerry Reuss, Jay Johnstone, Rick Monday and Steve Yeager appearing on Solid Gold, which I guess was like Soul Train before Soul Train, except with much less soul. I honestly have no clue why they did this, as it's hilariously bad. ...
