Doug Padilla (@DougPadilla) has returned to his home state of California to cover the Los Angeles Dodgers for ESPN.com. Since 2010 Padilla has covered the Chicago White Sox for
ESPN Radio 1000, ESPNChicago.com and ESPN.com.
"I covered my first major league game at Dodger Stadium in June of 1993 for the Orange County Register when the Dodgers played host to the Florida Marlins, then countless games there as a backup writer for the San Bernardino Sun," said Padilla. "After a four-year stint at the Chicago Sun-Times from 2002 to '05, covering the Chicago White Sox, I returned with the Los Angeles Newspaper Group to cover both the Los Angeles Angels and the Dodgers."
