I Feel That Dodger Hate Rebuilding

As a lifelong Atlanta Braves fan, I have less than stellar memories of the boys in blue from LA. When the Braves were mired in the National League West along with the Dodgers, a bitter rivalry built between the two. At least it did from the Braves side; the Dodgers probably couldn't have cared less. Anyway, there was hate f0r them for the Braves fans.

That pretty much died out when the NL was realigned, and we wound up in the East with the (now) hated Mets. But I started feeling a little bit of the old dislike when I saw this article.

Seems the Dodgers no longer allow kids to gather in the stands around the dugout to ask for autographs. See, those areas now are home to box seats. Only box seat ticket holders are allowed in the area. That means only the few kids sitting in the box seat areas can ask players for autographs. Another situation where tradition (which, by the way, is what made baseball great) is being kicked to the curb. So idiotic.
