Or what about when the team filed for bankruptcy while owners used it as their personal piggy bank?
That history?
The Dodgers aren't just the "moneyed Goliath" that people find easy to attack.
Some are coming for dodger fans around social justice I'm sure... But there are reasons.

Well, evil. Obviously. Fast forward to today: Shohei Ohtani's gets his contract structured to avoid $100 million in California state taxes through deferred compensation. A scheme so blatant that California's Senate passed a resolution calling it out as the...

"Know your baseball history"? Okay let's talk history then.
The Dodgers built their stadium on land that was stolen from Mexican-American families in through eminent domain—families who were promised, I should add, public housing that never came!

No such thing as an ethical billionaire. Eat the rich.

Sour grapes? Really? I love you Barry, but you do realize this guy genuinely suggested (and got) a contract to avoid paying 100 million dollars in tax revenue to the state that made him a billionaire... How do you justify that? Fuck him forever.

Those are nice indeed! I'd say for mai tai though you need some funk.
Denizen 8 is great and widely available and cheap. It's literally created for mai tai. If you can find Coruba, it's great for that and if not, sub Myers or similar.
