USC Sunday Buzz: Another Tradition Disappears

One of the nice things USC did over the years was let the Los Angeles City Section host the Open and Division 1 baseball playoff semifinals at Dedeaux Field for a reasonable price.

But then Dedeaux Field got torn down and the City Section had move elsewhere. Even though the new Dedeaux Field opened this year, the baseball playoffs did not return.

That’s a shame. Hopefully, USC did not try to raise the rent like in 2019, when it raised the rent for four days of use from $4,000 to more than $18,000 before it backed down.

It would be nice if the semifinals returned to Dedeaux Field next year. We’ll see.

  1. K-A-R-E-N B-A-S-S must know she’s in trouble –she’s implicitly putting out the message: “Since there’s no voter I. D. in Los Angeles — I encourage illegal aliens to vote without fear of reprisal.”

    2. a cult-driven canard, surprised you bought into THAT but deny the Drumpf corruption and involvement in child trafficking, despite OVERWHELMING evidence!

      1. Dear Charlie,

        I’m surprised you don’t realize that your old pal doesn’t trust any of these folks anymore —I guess it’s up to each of us to love our families and save our souls…

  3. Scott-

    Dedeaux lost their Certificate of Occupancy the second Nevada left town in early May. There are Zero Restrooms and there is Zero Access for Handicapped Persons.

    That is the reason why CIF or SC Baseball cannot hold games until next year.

  4. MG, thank you for the compliment regarding me having a feud with Scott. From time to time we may have a disagreement regarding our interpretations of reality, but I wouldn’t call it a feud per se. Just personal disagreements. My main disagreement is that tradition is only as good as the reality in which it is offered. There is evolution in sports just like in nature and science, etc. I agree with Scott that high school playoffs should be held free of charge on the USC campus. We should want high school students to have the USC experience if only for a day…..isn’t that a great edge for recruiting. My fear is that if we don’t offer our field, UCLA or Pepperdine or Cal State Fullerton will offer there’s and get the recruiting advantage. So, I am giving Scott a pat on the back. Of course, Scott’s love for ND vis a vis our Trojans is way out of line. Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962

  5. hey wolfman, a few traditions endure: the Bruins won the Big 10 baseball Champeeeenship with their third tourney walk-off (impossibly, their 28th comeback in 51 wins!!)

    i know you hate hearing about Bruins winning streaks, but the softball ladies team just won their regional to advance to the Women’s World Series!!! the Bruin gals have set ALL TIME NCAA records with 200 HR’s and over 630 runs scored!!!
