When I was a kid, the Los Angeles Dodgers were baseball's model franchise -- and no other team was close. From 1973 to 1986, they led the major leagues in attendance every year except one. In 1978, when they became the first team to draw 3 million fans, 20 teams didn't even draw 2 million. They had those perfect white uniforms, with that perfect blue cursive script, and I swear that Ron Cey would make a diving stop in the infield and pop up without any dirt stains on his jersey. The weather was always sunny and 80 degrees, the Elysian hills and San Gabriel Mountains provided the scenic background to Dodger Stadium, and Steve Garvey had those awesome forearms and hair always in place.
