OLDEST DODGERS FAN ALIVE: Celebrating 106 Years of Dedication: Happy Birthday Aunt Judy, the Dodgers’ Longest and Oldest Fan Alive
Today marks an extraordinary milestone—a 106th birthday celebration for Aunt Judy, undoubtedly the longest and oldest Los Angeles Dodgers fan alive. A living testament to loyalty and love for America’s pastime, Aunt Judy has devoted over 80 years of her life to cheering on the Dodgers, a passion that began back when the team was still known as the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1940s.
A Lifelong Bond with Baseball
Aunt Judy’s journey as a Dodgers fan began when she was a teenager in the 1940s, during her high school years in Brooklyn, New York. Like many kids of the time, she found solace, excitement, and camaraderie in the crack of the bat and the roar of the crowd at Ebbets Field. It was an era when baseball was the heartbeat of American culture, and for Judy, the Brooklyn Dodgers were at the center of it all.
She was there to witness Jackie Robinson break the color barrier in 1947, a momentous achievement not just for baseball but for the civil rights movement in America. Judy remembers the excitement, the pride, and the unity felt by fans, both black and white, as Robinson set foot on the field, proving that baseball could lead the way to social change. From the power of Duke Snider’s bat to the brilliance of Sandy Koufax’s pitching arm, Aunt Judy was there, living each moment with her beloved team.
A Move Across the Country
When the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, Aunt Judy didn’t hesitate. She made the leap across the country, from Brooklyn to the West Coast, never wavering in her commitment to the team. She became one of the many who stood by the Dodgers during their transition from the East Coast to the sunny shores of California, and since then, she’s never looked back.
Through decades of highs and lows—World Series victories, heartbreaking losses, and countless seasons in between—Aunt Judy’s love for the Dodgers remained unwavering. Her loyalty has outlasted generations of players, managers, and even stadiums, but one thing has always remained: her devotion to the blue.
NEVER Misses a Game
Perhaps the most remarkable part of Aunt Judy’s journey as a Dodgers fan is her dedication to never missing a game. Whether it’s a weekday afternoon game or a thrilling postseason matchup, Aunt Judy is there—front and center, glued to the television or radio, sometimes attending games in person. It’s a routine she has maintained for decades, through every season, no matter what. It’s not just about the game itself; it’s about the experience, the community, and the connection to a team that’s been there for her as much as she’s been there for them.
Her friends and family know not to disturb Aunt Judy during game time—it’s a sacred period in her day. She’ll happily chat about the latest trades, the performance of star players, and the team’s chances for a championship. To her, every season is a new adventure, a fresh chance for the Dodgers to add another chapter to their storied legacy.
A Legacy of Dodgers Love
Over the years, Aunt Judy’s passion for the Dodgers has influenced many around her. Her children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren have all inherited her love for the game, especially the Dodgers. She’s passed down the stories of great moments in Dodgers history, from the legendary home runs to the nail-biting, down-to-the-wire games that fans will talk about for years. Her legacy as a Dodgers superfan will live on for generations.
While Aunt Judy has seen many changes in the world of baseball and the Dodgers, she remains as enthusiastic about her team today as she was back in the 1940s. From Brooklyn to LA, through every season and every game, Aunt Judy’s loyalty has been unmatched, and her spirit embodies everything that makes the Dodgers so special to their fans.
