Has anyone noticed that the Los Angeles Dodgers have the best record in the major leagues? Not if you are watching any local or National Sports shows. For some reason that I can not find the answer to, the LA Dodgers are the most overlooked team on the planet. Everyday you can find a story on the Mets,Yankees, Red Sox, Giants and even the last place Rockies. Even the cross town Angels get more love.
I ask some of my colleagues, why not do a story on the fact that Juan Pierre has been on a tear since back playing everyday? The answer I get, "The Dodgers have not really played anyone yet".
At 36-18, the best record in baseball, that is 54 games. Almost a third of the season. But those 54 games don't apparently count. It is becoming humorous after taking 2 out of 3 from the Philly's, sweeping the Mets, 2 out of 3 from the Cubs....you get the picture.
But what do I know, the Dodgers have not played anyone yet.
By the way, to give you a little insight...Juan Pierre is the first one to arrive at the ballpark everyday and the last one to leave. Playing or sitting his dedication to the game is nothing short of admirable. He is not afraid to talk about God and thanks him for his abilities. He is a gentlemen and has a great sense of humor. He is also a heck of alot of fun to watch play baseball. Just ask any Dodger fan who comes to the ballpark.
Glad I could give you some insight about an athlete who plays his heart out!
