About this episode

Richard eulogizes three Echo Park eateries associated with Dodger Stadium and discusses the All Star Game and Dave Roberts' managerial success.

On the eve of the United States' Semisesquicentennial, Richard brings you this special ep. He eulogizes three recently-closed Echo Park eateries with strong associations with Dodger Stadium: The Brite Spot, Taix, and Burrito King. He breaks down the All Star Game, and the Dodgers connections thereto. And he proffers an interpretation of Dave Roberts' successful managerial methods, with Doc logging his 1000th victory as manager of the Dodgers. (The quickest ever to get there.)
