Trivia Time:

What post-WWII team went 681 straight games- over four plus seasons without having a game started by a left-handed pitcher?

[nolemmings]

Dodgers in the early '90's.

[clydepepper]

Correct Todd-

Bobby Ojeda started on 9/24/1992 & Denys Reyes started on 7/13/1997

I thought that was pretty amazing!

The Team went 356-325 in the four plus seasons making the playoffs only twice (though one was a strike year)- being swept in 1995 & 1996.


A team that had already had Koufax and Valenzuela and was manage by another lefty, Tommy Lasorda.

Jus BAD KARMA!
