O’MALLEY’S WAY

Jim Schachter’s article about Peter O’Malley (“O’Malley’s Way,” Aug. 18) strikes out in the face of the facts.

Dodger fans love the stadium, the landscaping, the parking, the manager and the players--those 25 guys who never do it the simple way but who almost always keep it exciting. And we respect the owners, too. They are a class act, with the best-run, most successful management in baseball. Only The Times seems unappreciative.
