As a person who has a permanent ringtone in the ears (tinnitus) following the damage heard from the concerts, I must be an exception to the way music is heavy during sporting events these days. Despite the quotes from Dodger players and executives indicating how “big” The volume at the Dodger stadium is that they put paid customers and employees in danger of hearing loss with excessive volume. Entertaining fans is one thing, attacking the delicate instrument that is our ears is another. I’m sure they could lower it at safer decibels and everyone will have a good time.

Dodger Stadium organizes an evening of military appreciation, a salvadorian heritage evening and a Guatemalan heritage evening. But we will never see one night at the spectrum of autism. The overwhelming audio system would cause fans to run from the screaming stadium in pain and terror.

I suffer from an affection called hyperacusia, where strong noises can cause ear pain that last days or even weeks. It is rare in the general population, but more frequent in autistic people. I love baseball and I love going to the Dodger stadium from the year it opened up to 20 years. But now I should wear ear protection with industrial resistance.

I liked the seats of the stands but I would not stay there – far too strong under the audio system.

Of course, it is “entertainment”. Of course, players love enthusiasm. But there are seats below or near the speakers which are simply painful in the ears.

Pauley Pavilion pain
Thank you for the excellent article on strong music at the Dodger Stadium, which reminded me of how boring it was to watch UCLA basketball at the Pauley Pavilion last season. Constant rap and techno-music, measured at 90 decibels, which, according to OSHA, can cause hearing damage of two hours of exposure. As an old former, I would prefer to hear the sound of the group playing and the cheers of the crowd.

Go to the enclosure of the lifts
What Genius decided to use Position the players to launch in the ninth round When the team was in both cases or late in a match? It is embarrassing to see the mocking pitch, the loaded bases and the striking strikers. Use an enclosure of the enclosure of the lifts and save us, your fans, the shift.

Ace in the hole
Given his recent outings and record, you must say that Clayton Kershaw is now the AS of the Dodgers staff. Big history for him, maybe even worthy of the return player of the year, if he continues. Also more than a little ironic, given the big money paid to the three free agent starters of the Dodgers. Kershaw could barely hit 90 mph on the radar pistol, but he launches more effectively, and more importantly, taking his turn in the rotation – which is a remarkable achievement of this staff.

Imagine it
Since he had his vision corrected in April, Max Muncy has been in tears! What asks me … when can we expect a Bobblehead evening for his ophthalmologist?

Memo to Los Angeles Dodgers:
Find out who is the doctorate of Max Muncy and send the rest of the team.

Congratulations to Oklahoma City Thunder for winning the NBA title. One thing I noticed about this very young team is how mature and chic they are. They do not make ridiculous gestures like some of the old veterans superstars, that is to say “Night Night”, “Ice in the Veins”, etc. I hope you can learn something from these young champions.
