In 1963 , when the Dodgers swept the Yankees in the World Series , every player in the starting lineup was a homegrown Dodger .

Blake Snell’s five-year , $182-million contract works out to approximately $36 million per season.

Susan Stann Temecula : As long as Arte is at the helm the Angels are doomed.
