For Los Angeles Dodgers super-fan Randi Radcliffe, this baseball season promises to be an emotional one. Radcliffe attended every single Dodgers home game last season, regular season, playoffs, World Series, and even some road games, for a total of 103 games.

She's bled Dodger blue since she was a child with a love for the team that was instilled in her from a young age by her dad.

"I was born into it, I had my first game here when I was one, I still have my ticket," said Radcliffe. "It was just how he raised me and my brother."

But last year, on the same day the Dodgers clinched their second straight trip to the World Series, Radcliffe's father Randall died of kidney and liver failure.

The loss however, has only made Radcliffe's passion for her father's favorite team even stronger. 

"There's a part of me that feels like I am kind of carrying that with me whenever I got to  games, " said Radcliffe.

 

 

She's keeping the family legacy alive in a big way, connecting with players and coaches before games, catching a glimpse of the broadcasters before they head to the booth, and bonding with other fans like people attending a family reunion. 

Now the hope is that the Dodgers will make the third time a charm and win it all this season. Although without her father around to witness it, it would be bittersweet.

"It would be difficult to see them win it and knowing he's not here anymore," she said. "But it would also kind of hold a special place in my heart that I got to see it in my lifetime and experience what he got to experience in '81 and '88 and so on."

The hope for a championship is alive and well, just like the legacy of a family's love for their Dodgers.
