    The last time the Dodgers won the World Series, Ronald Reagan was still President. For a good chunk of Twitterdom, that means ancient history. And yet, the 32 years since their last WS championship is far less than the time it took them to win their first World Series in 1955.

        They were the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, the Brooklyn Robins, the Brooklyn Trolley-Dodgers from 1883 onward. Remember that Brooklyn was a separate city from New York until 1898.pic.twitter.com/dPbnm8cQtt

        But they were the most colorful team in baseball for decades and their near-misses were part of the legend.pic.twitter.com/DzoIMLMAEZ

        I've been a NY Mets fans since I was a kid. My dad was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan and switched over to the Mets in 1969. The Mets wear the colors of the old Dodgers and NY Giants. Ironic that the 1988 Dodgers beat the Mets to win the NL Championship before they dispatched the A's.

        I'm sure I'm jinxing it for Dodger fans. I am genuinely neutral on them, as I am with most things in California. But it'd be a fine thing for the LA Dodgers to get over the top after getting so close the last few years. Like the Red Sox after 2004, I bet they'd win a lot more.

        I'm just stopping by to say that even if the Dodgers win the WS tonight, they will have won one less (7) than the @SFGiants (8)✌️
