Historic L.A. Dodgers Photos: A Look At The Past, Present & Future
By Diego Rentería
The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the 2013 season at home April 1, showing off the newly renovated Dodger Stadium and hosting their archrival, the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers won their season opener 4-0, but dropped the following two games against the Giants. The Pittsburgh Pirates are next up for the Dodgers.
There is more than a recently renovated Dodger Stadium to look forward to this season. This is the first full season under newish owners Guggenheim Partners. The Dodgers made many personnel moves during the off-season, and we have to wait and see if the season goes our way.
For those fiending for a Dodger Dog and to root, root, root for the home team, here's the Dodgers' full regular season schedule. In interleague play news, the National League West plays the American League East this year, reigniting the historic Dodgers-Yankees rivalry (see photo seven in the above gallery).

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
