Kirk Gibson limping around the bases doing the Macauley Culkin arm move the whole way. Kareem Abdul-Jabber hitting sky-hook after sky-hook while still trying to pretend he wasn’t going bald. Orel Hershiser demolishing all kinds of records en route to one of the greatest World Series performances of all time. These are the things that made me love sports as a kid, but especially the Los Angeles Dodgers and Lakers.As a Dodgers and Lakers fan growing up in

Northern California, I was the subject of numerous wedgies and trashcannings throughout my childhood. I guess my parents never got the memo that I was supposed to like the Giants or the Kings or any of the other various quasi-Bay Area sports teams. Oops! But L.A. fan I am and always will be, even though lately they are turning my hair an early shade of gray by being belligerent losers. Once I moved closer to L.A. as an adult, I was able to attend more games and it just reinforced my love for the city and its teams. I think I’m drawn to teams that aren’t perennial powerhouses, but have some flaws and grit. The Dodgers have always been scrappy underdogs that just seem to win (again,not lately!) and the Lakers just have the sweetest colors of all time. I moonwalk in Purple and Gold. Anyways, I 

promise to blog about the good and the bad with all of my sports teams, and hopefully inject some much needed humor as well.
