The official Los Angeles Dodgers 2024 Walk-Up Songs are perfect for a wild stroll.
Lou Reed said it best when he sang, “Take a walk on the wild side.”
The wild side is the rollercoaster ride that is being a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Both exhilarating and excruciating, being a fan of the boys in blue brings you to the highest of highs and the lowest lows.
The 2023 season was no different.
For the first time in a decade, the expectations for the 2023 Dodgers were low, most baseball analysts did not expect them to win the NL West.
Nonetheless, the Dodgers exceeded those expectations by winning 100 games and clinching their 10th division title in 11 seasons, finishing a whopping 16 games ahead of second place.
Then came the playoffs and the track changed from Reed to Simon and Garfunkel’s, “Hello Darkness My Old Friend.”
For the second straight postseason, the Dodgers were one and done in October.
After losing to the San Diego Padres in four games in the 2022 NLDS, Los Angeles couldn’t even manage one win in 2023, as they were swept out of the division series by the Arizona Diamondbacks, the same team that finished a distant second in the division behind them.
But the Dodgers bounced back in the offseason, spending over a billion dollars by bringing in free agents like two-time AL MVP Shohei Ohtani, three-time Japanese baseball Cy Young Award winner Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and slugger Teoscar Hernandez.
Coupled with the re-signing of Clayton Kershaw, Jason Heyward, and Enrique Hernandez, not to mention the acquisition of right-hander Tyler Glasnow via trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, the 2024 Dodgers are back to having high hopes, and great expectations. So much so, that they are currently the World Series betting favorites.
