It's #OpeningDay for the @Dodgers and @Angels!

We've got all angles covered. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
NL West preview: The @Padres spent their way into legitimate World Series contention, setting the stage for a potential wire-to-wire division race.

@jorgecastillo on the Padres, @Dodgers and the marathon for the division title. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
“It’s going to be a dogfight every single night,” @Angels catcher Max Stassi said of the AL West. “There are no cakewalks.”

Will anyone challenge the @astros? @MikeDiGiovanna looks at a new-and-improved rotation that could shake up the division. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
“He has changed my life completely. I have to follow him almost every day, every year.”

The life of Japanese journalists, assigned to cover Shohei Ohtani, is all-consuming and relentless.

From @Sarah_IsabelVee: latimes.com/sports/angels/…
“When we talk about ... the pressure, about being in Yankee Stadium with a full count on Aaron Judge in the ninth inning ... after going through what I went through, nothing fazes me.

“If I can get through that, everything else is a piece of cake.” latimes.com/sports/story/2…
“You don’t want playoff games, big important games down the stretch, decided by that. But I don’t think we’re gonna get any grace, so we’ve just got to figure it out.”

MLB's new pitch clock is a big hit, but what happens when it costs someone a key game? latimes.com/sports/story/2…
The @Dodgers' middle infield is a mosh pit, their outfield an Erector Set. Their starting rotation has two bold exclamation points, then ⁉️

We have no idea what will happen during the next six months. Doesn’t that make it interesting?

Are the young pitchers ready? How will the bottom of the lineup perform? The biggest questions facing the @Dodgers: latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Shohei Ohtani will be a free agent after this season. He has said the @Angels' signings this offseason were “probably the best acquisitions in the past few years.”

Have they done enough to keep their two-way star?

latimes.com/sports/angels/…
If the Angels trade Shohei Ohtani, they'd receive just a fraction of the bounty they would have gained by trading him a year earlier.

So, @dylanohernandez asks, why is Arte Moreno implying they could move him this summer?

After the fall of Roe vs. Wade, Tom Sherman, a Delaware journalist, dug into his collection of antique and vintage historical documents — specifically searching for old New York Police Department manuals he’d rescued from a dumpster a decade earlier. latimes.com/california/sto…
The NYPD had formed its own squad after an abortion-ring bust in the mid-1950s.

A 1968 NYPD training bulletin titled “ABORTIONS,” detailed the use of wire-taps and tails placed on women visiting a doctor’s office for an abortion. latimes.com/california/sto… “It was this weird moment o...
As of January, 12 states are enforcing a near-total ban on abortion with very limited exceptions, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights. Doctors who violate abortion laws could face criminal penalties. latimes.com/california/sto…

Housed within the LAPD's homicide division, the abortion squad investigated what were known then as “illegal operations.”

Officers questioned young women who had gone to the hospital for antibiotics after an abortion and were reported to law enforcement. latimes.com/california/sto…
They interviewed loved ones after women died from botched operations.

They kept dossiers on hundreds of abortion providers and went on stakeouts.

They posed as boyfriends or brothers to trap doctors into confessing. latimes.com/california/sto…
The team operated for decades, before the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973 gave women nationwide the legal right to terminate a pregnancy.

Almost 50 years later, on a Friday morning in June, the landmark decision fell. latimes.com/california/sto…

In a desperate move to reverse deteriorating conditions for more than 1,500 low-income tenants, the L.A. city attorney asked a judge to appoint a receiver for distressed residential buildings operated by the failing nonprofit Skid Row Housing Trust. latimes.com/california/sto…
A petition filed in L.A. Superior Court proposes that the 29 buildings — many dating from the early 20th century, with others built since the 1990s — be turned over to a statewide receivership firm that specializes in court-ordered nuisance abatement. latimes.com/california/sto…
The receivership plan came under attack even before the city filed its petition. Pacific Premier Bank, claiming the trust has defaulted on a $4-million loan, petitioned the same judge for an order essentially putting it in control of the trust’s finances. latimes.com/california/sto…

Women unable to get legal abortions were dying after being injected with disinfectants; overdosing on a too-rapidly-administered anesthetic; suffering a perforated uterus that led to blood poisoning. latimes.com/california/sto…

Early in his Hollywood career, #JohnWick director Chad Stahelski had carved out a niche in stunts, a lanky 6-foot-1 fighter who could do the splits & backflip on command. He almost missed the opportunity of a lifetime by turning down work on “The Matrix.” lat.ms/3lGB5p6
Because he had a steady gig on NBC’s “The Pretender,” he decided against working on the film. But after production delays, he got another chance and took it, becoming Keanu Reeves stunt double and a coordinator on the sequels. lat.ms/3lGB5p6
By the time Reeves was mulling the indie neo-noir thriller that would become 2014’s #JohnWick, he knew that Stahelski and fellow stunt veteran David Leitch could work as second-unit directors on studio action pics. lat.ms/3lGB5p6

“Victoria, a gay Latina who had the courage to criticize Disney, was silenced,” reads a statement from former Marvel Studios executive Victoria Alonso's lawyer, Hollywood power player Patty Glaser. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Glaser said former Marvel exec Victoria Alonso “was terminated when she refused to do something she believed was reprehensible,” without giving specifics. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The Hollywood Reporter published a story citing unnamed sources who said Alonso was fired for violating an employment contract by doing press for “Argentina, 1985,” the Oscar-nominated film she produced. Alonso’s lawyer refuted that narrative. latimes.com/entertainment-…
