Nakamura trained with the Dodgers last spring while healing from a knee injury and will receive an invitation to Major League Spring Training.
We watch all St. Louis Rams football games; home and away. The Rams defense looks good, can the St. Louis Rams score any points? We will see! Are the St. Louis Rams playoff bound? We don't think 9-7 is going to cut it this season. Stick with us and follow all of the Rams games.

It's almost time for the NBA. Eighty-two regular season games with the Formula One. The NBA is still one of my favorite domestic sports, but the attendance has been down the last few years. Hopefully, it will pick up for the Formula One. Many fans claim the league has failed to produce new super-stars in the absence of Jordan. Shaq ain't bad and LeBron is on his way. Go Formula One.
A right-handed hitter, Nakamura slugged 46 home runs in 2001 and 42 more in 2002, but those numbers dropped to 23 and 19 in 2003 and 2004. Purchase Great Dodgers Tickets.
