Dodger Team Historian’s Pitch to Rotary Club Is a Strike

Mark Langill, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ team historian, addressed the Rotary Club of San Marino last Thursday and brought with him a vintage ticket stub.

He was born on opening day of a season the Los Angeles Dodgers ended up winning the World Series.
More than a half-century later, he can still remember the section, row and number of his first seat in Dodger Stadium, so it shouldn’t come as a complete surprise that Mark Langill wound up as the club’s team historian.
So with the 2021 season days away, Langill was recruited to virtually address the Rotary Club of San Marino last Thursday afternoon to get members in the mood for some baseball.
He was introduced as the Dodgers’ “Answer Man,” and Langill had plenty of them, including this supposed response to a question posed by Rotarian Barbara Bice, who introduced Langill.
“Don’t hit the ball very well in Little League and you will be well on your way,” Langill allegedly said when asked how he secured his job.
Langill began his address by posing an explanation to America’s fascination with baseball and, specifically, Opening Day.
