Historic Dodgertown

A beautiful field but sorry to hear that its no longer Dodgers training grounds since about 2010. Heard the Dodgers moved training to Arizona.

We went to Historic Dodgertown for a FL State Softball tournament. The park in and of itself was very nice and clean. I almost felt like I was at Disney World with all the money I had to shell out ($ 8 to park in a grass/​muddy lot; $ 9 per person to enter tournament; $ 0.25 for a small cup of ice; they get you on everything). I can handle getting robbed blind, but what I can’t handle while being robbed blind is the absolute rudeness of the concession stand workers!!! Everyone was real nice from the parking volunteers to the ticket agents, but the ladies working the concession stand ruined everything about this park.

For my 900^th Unilocal review I thought it should be something special. Historic Dodgertown is something special.
I stayed the night in Historic Dodgertown in Vero Beach, FL on 4÷22÷2015. It was my 1^st time there. It’s unlike anyplace else that I’ve ever stayed. From 1948 to 2006, the Dodgers played their spring training games here. That means that the Dodgers were playing here even prior to moving to Los Angeles. Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale and the list goes on and on of the baseball legends who played here.
I stayed in Suite #134, the Carl Erskine room. Carl Erskine had a MLB record of 122 – 78 and pitched two no-​hitters (in 1952 and 1956). My room cost $ 153.04 plus a tax of $ 10.43 for a total of $ 163.47. It was big and spacious and had one of the largest walk-​in closets that I’ve ever seen.
The great thing is that by staying here you are close to Holman Stadium and the other baseball fields. While I was there I got to see some games by high schools from New England. I also got a free breakfast in the Club House. Ed, Louise and everyone else at Historic Dodgertown was extremely friendly and helpful. Not just Dodger fans should come here but all fans of baseball, even Giant fans (well maybe not Giant fans). Plus, I took many photos.
