Description

Albuquerque, New Mexico, is more than a refueling place for motorists on I-40. Skilled baseball has been played here for more than 70 years, and fans have had the chance to peer long term Dodgers stars like Don Sutton, Ron Cey, Steve Garvey, Orel Hershiser, Eric Karros, and Mike Piazza hone their talents. Hall of Fame members Tom Lasorda and Duke Snider managed here; Darryl Strawberry, Eddie Murray, and Manny Ramirez have spent short stints “rehabbing” here; and large-league preseason games played in Albuquerque give fans an opportunity to peer non-Dodgers favorites. Albuquerque may be where the Los Angeles Dodgers’ triple-A farm team, the Albuquerque Isotopes, played before 600,000 fans in 2009, when the Dodgers “returned” after a nine-year absence. Isotopes Park, a baseball jewel, features great entertainment, a lovely view of the majestic Sandia Mountains, and an opportunity for baseball fans to peer major league stars of the next day.
