The 1986 Dodgers Grooving The Baseball Boogie

It's a mystery why the Dodgers, who in mid-August were in third place, eight games out of first, decided to record this tacky, cocky video. After 18 of the players joined L.A. Mayor Tom Bradley, Donna Mills, Joan Van Ark and the Commodores to tape "The Baseball Boogie," the season was all downhill, and the boys from Chavez Ravine finished fifth in the NL East, 23 games behind the Astros. On the other hand, the team did draw more fans than any other NL club in 1986 ... so maybe the show biz vibe paid off.
