From the Field: Dodgertown, USA: A special place to spend spring break
Spring training comes to a close as season starts
VERO BEACH, Fla. — I’m sitting in an Irish pub with the ghosts of Dodgers past. Shoved between the neon beer signs and flat-screen TVs at Bobby’s are signed pictures and balls from Dodger greats: Steve Yeager, pitcher Ron Perranoski and Tommy Lasorda. Perranoski — a Vero Beach, Flor. resident — is holding court in his usual place at the bar, surrounded by fans and friends, reputedly never buying his own beer. I’m sitting in a place of living history.
