More Quotes from Frank McCourt:

What we're trying to do with this restoration is to really balance the history and tradition and the greatness of this wonderful facility with improvements that we make, that give our fans the amenities that they would have in any other new ballpark in America. So that's what we are trying to do, to look forward but respect the past, and to continue to move this franchise and this great venue, Dodger Stadium, into the future.

I think Eric just embodies what we want here with the Dodgers. He's passionate about winning -- he knows it's all about the fans so he wears his heart on his sleeve and he gives back to the community. He's a big part of the community -- he's the face of the Dodgers and that's very, very important. The community respects that because he gives back.
