STAFF REPORT
LOS ANGELES, Calif. | It rained and rained and rained in Southern California. Albert Hammond (singer of "It Never Rains In Southern California") was nowhere to be seen, but a sea of water moved in stuck around a bit.
The photo above is of the stadium well-known to Los Angeles Dodgers fans.
You could say that the field looks dry enough for a doubleheader, but getting there would be the problem, as water from Hurricane Hilary enveloped the stadium at Chavez Ravine. This is the same ballfield where lefty Fernando Valenzuela once thrilled the city's baseball fans, where the Penguin patrolled third base and where Steve Garvey would always take his first base position as excited as a kid.
This from the nypost.com: [ The Los Angeles Dodgers have faced a powerful new rival - Hilary. Wild images show the area around Dodgers Stadium completely flooded by the historic storm that has unleashed chaotic conditions not seen in the region in 84 years.
The sports arena effectively became an island after more than an average year’s worth of rain was dumped on the Golden State in one night. ]
The storm was petering out late Monday, but floodwaters ran deep.
Yes, you do sort of wonder what fabled game announcer Vin Scully would have said at seeing his beloved Dodgers Stadium surrounded by so much water...
