Julio Urías rose to prominence as a teenage phenom from Culiacán, making his major league debut at 19. An eye problem, one he’s dealt with since birth, only fueled the attention. He was the boy with the bad left eye and the great left arm. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Urias and his father would take a 12-hour bus ride to Guadalajara for surgeries whenever his eye was sealing shut. His dad estimated Julio had 10 surgeries by age 10.

Jaime Jarrín will be feted by the @Dodgers Saturday as a remarkable 64-year career closes after this season.
@jorgecastillo looks at Jarrin's unorthodox path to baseball radio, the remarkable moments in history he's covered, and what's next for him. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Jaime Jarrín has witnessed more games at Dodger Stadium than anyone else since it opened in 1962. As the stadium hosted the All-Star Game in Jarrín’s 64th and final season as one of the club’s Spanish-language radio voices, he offered his favorite moments: latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

Once upon a time (well, 1965), @UCLA chancellor Franklin D. Murphy promoted the construction of a $6.5-million, 44,000-seat on-campus stadium that would be nestled into the hillside west of the student athletic fields. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
Among other amenities, the stadium would house a regulation football field plus a 440-yard, nine-lane track, outdoor lighting, concession stands, restrooms, scoreboards, a two-level press box, team dressing and shower rooms and management offices. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
#UCLA students twice voted against the proposal and staged a protest outside Murphy’s office. The campus newspaper, the Daily Bruin, ran an editorial opposing the stadium and the use of student fees to fund it. latimes.com/sports/ucla/st…
