There’s something different in the air this week in L.A., and no, it’s not just the smell of spring cherry blossoms blooming. It’s the return of the Freeway Series, where the city’s baseball heartbeat splits clean down the 5 freeway.
For a couple of nights at Dodger Stadium, L.A. baseball fandom collides.
Why This Series Actually Matters (Even If It’s “Just Spring Training”)
Honestly, preseason games don’t always scream must-watch. But this isn’t just any matchup.
When the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Los Angeles Angels, it’s less about standings and more about bragging rights across L.A.
And fans are already (playfully) trash talking!
