Olmedo Olowokandi (O2 to his friends) got his name from two of the most amusing athletes in Dodger-Clipper history. Olmedo Saenz, by and large (emphasize large), was a pinch-hitter extraordinaire for the Dodgers from 2004-07. Michael Olowokandi, meanwhile, will go down as one of the biggest draft busts in NBA history, though simply one of the myriad wasted Clipper lottery picks (No. 1 overall in 1998).
O2 has been a fan of both L.A. teams since the tender age of eight, and has since made frequent pilgrimages to Chavez Ravine, the Sports Arena and Staples Center, as well as other sports venues across the nation. O2’s goal as a sports journalist is to infuse his writing with the rich history and elegance from the Dodgers, while maintaining the sense of high comedy (and sometimes tragedy) from the Clippers’, um, “tradition.”
