The last time the Dodgers didn’t lead the major leagues in attendance, Frank and Jamie McCourt were still names that Dodger fans cared about. Since the Guggenheim Group bought the team and rescued Los Angeles sports fans from the ugliness of the McCourts, Dodger Stadium has been packed to the gills nearly every night.
When the Dodgers traded Mitch White to the Blue Jays at the trade deadline, White entered a new baseball ecosystem within the American League East. The Blue Jays are currently in second place, creeping up on the struggling Yankees, and White had the opportunity to step on the mound at Yankee Stadium last weekend to face — and ultimately outduel — New York ace Gerrit Cole.
