Inside the Los Angeles Dodgers: Game Day, History, and Hot Dogs

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Josh Meyers goes inside the world of the iconic Los Angeles Dodgers with two lifelong fans and experts.

First, Josh sits down with Mark Langill, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ club historian, to get an insider’s look at what makes a day at Dodger Stadium so special. Langill details what fans can expect on game day, from stadium tours and bobblehead giveaways to seeing stars such as Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman take the field. He also talks about the excitement surrounding the Dodgers’ back-to-back World Series titles and some of the iconic moments from the team’s past.

Next, Josh meets Tommy Brockert, owner of Dodgers-themed pizzeria LaSorted’s. Brockert shares the story and personality behind the restaurant, including some of its most memorable Dodgers-inspired decor. He explains the tradition behind his specialty game-day hot dogs that pay homage to the visiting team’s city, as well as other popular menu items.

Brockert also dishes on the benefits of being close to Dodger Stadium and what his ideal game day looks like—from his go-to order and favorite seats to the incredible city views the stadium offers.
