Jon SooHoo’s Look Inside Spring Training

As most Dodger fans know, team photographer (and friend of dodgerfan.net) Jon SooHoo has unbelievable access inside the Dodgers clubhouse, and I wanted to share some of his photos from the past few days – after all, he shoots the team for the fans as much as for the club itself.  We’ll continue to post Jon’s images throughout Spring Training and the regular season, so check back for more inside looks into the lives of the Dodger players, coaches and fans.  Oh, and sorry for the duplicates below…some small issues going on with my photo uploader.

And We’re Off! Dodgers’ 2011 Spring Training is Open for Business

Wednesday is one of my favorite days of the year: the start of Spring Training!  Sure the Dodgers have more question marks than we would like and more than a few glaring holes (left field, a lack of power, a questionable closer, and a suspicious defense to name a few), but at the same time, there’s a lot to look forward to with expected monster years for Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp, as well as one of the best starting rotations in the major leagues.

I personally love the unexpected stories of heart and grit that come out of Spring Training…there’s always one feel good story in camp each year and I’m eager to see whixh left-for-dead vet or up and coming youngster seizes the opportunity in front of them (the trendy media pick these days seems to be outfielder Chris Gwynn).  Can’t wait to see who it is this year.
