While some fans of baseball were in low spirits with the arrival of the would-be Opening Day of the 2020 season, others were using alternate forms of entertainment to experience the joy of the game they love most.
Bob Hillman, a well-known singer and songwriter in the San Francisco area, recently composed a song centered on the wonderful memories of the Dodgers’ 1981 World Championship run and the legendary phenomenon known as “Fernandomania.”
The piece was largely based on both his own recollections and a recently published book titled They Bled Blue, a brilliant account of the magical 1981 season by Hillman’s friend and author, Jason Turbow.
