In the decades that followed, his players were the last to be permitted sideburns; their uniforms were the last to undergo pajamafication. Dodger Stadium's music was the last to turn from polka toward metal; its parking-lot patrol was among the first to harass tailgaters. Even as ownership passed from the O'Malley family to Rupert Murdoch and then Frank McCourt, the ballpark's ushers retained their straw boater hats.</p><!-- Module ends: a-body-first-para--></div><div class="float" style="clear:both;"><img src="/images/pixel.gif" height="1" width="1" alt="" /></div><div id="mod-ctr-lt-in-top" style="float:left;" class="mod-adcpc"><!-- Module starts: ctr-lt-in-top (AdCpc) --><script type="text/javascript"> var adSkipCounter = 0; </script><script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ var loc = window.location.href + ""; var float = ""; google_hints = "manny ramirez cocaine addiction dodger";google_ad_client="pub-0227802054925200";google_ad_output="js";google_ad_channel="5212128158,9744208858,4627759051";google_ad_type="text,image";google_image_size="300x250";google_safe="high";google_feedback="on";google_max_num_ads="4";google_skip="" + adSkipCounter + "";google_adtest="off";google_page_url=document.URL;function google_ad_request_done(ads) { if (ads.length == 0) { return; } // If no ads are returned then dont build the ad block if (ads[0].bidtype == "CPC") { adSkipCounter += ads.length; } // Increment ad skip counter when cpc google_ad_request_done_internal(ads, "", "", "true", "medium_rectangle", "", "false", "", "pgtp=article&pi=34&ci=7815552&cat=sports&pe_id=7815552&tv=ap-LA7-G02&rna=pub-0227802054925200&rn=g&rnrci=5212128158&rnrcn=CMI-A-002&rncci=9744208858&rnccn=CMI-A-028&rnpci=&rnpcn=&rntci=&rntcn=&rnlci=4627759051&rnlcn=4627759051&rnp=c&rt=cpc&paidClick=1&placement_id=ctr-lt-in-top", "", "", "", "", "", "ap-LA7-G02", "Los Angeles Times Articles", "545454");}//]]></script><script type="text/javascript" src="/google_ad_request.js.php"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script><!-- Module ends: ctr-lt-in-top--></div><div id="mod-ctr-rt-in-top" style="float:right;" class="mod-adopenx mod-adblock"><!-- Module starts: ctr-rt-in-top (AdOpenx) --><div style="float:right;"><div class="ad_header">Advertisement</div><!-- zone: inline-right-top-med-rect (300x250) --><div id="mod-ctr-rt-in-top-defer" style="width:300px;height:250px;"><script type="text/javascript"> /* Javascript deferred */ </script></div></div><!-- Module ends: ctr-rt-in-top--></div><div class="float" style="clear:both;"><img src="/images/pixel.gif" height="1" width="1" alt="" /></div><div id="mod-a-body-after-first-para" style="" class="mod-latarticlesarticletext mod-articletext"><!-- Module starts: a-body-after-first-para (ArticleText) --><p>Over the years, the team has been lucky dodging drug-related bullets. Star reliever Eric Gagne and slugging catcher Mike Piazza were both linked to steroids -- but only after leaving the Dodgers. In 1981, outfielder Lou Johnson admitted to a longtime cocaine addiction that kicked in only after the Dodgers traded him in 1967. The '60s stolen-base champ Maury Wills was popped for powder in 1983, more than a decade after he shed the blue. Former Dodger Lee Lacy was slapped with a suspension following the Pittsburgh cocaine trials of 1985 and 1986. Power hitter Darryl Strawberry took a coke suspension after being traded to the Giants in 1994.</p><p></p><p>Yes, there've been a few Dodgers whose substance intake besmirched the blue while they still wore it, notably '80s reliever Steve Howe. But the Dodgers have laundered most of their stains behind clubhouse doors.</p><p>In our thirst for rectitude, we tend to forget that Dodger Stadium itself stands on a site originally acquired by the city for low-income housing (but never converted to that use), and that park construction required bulldozing the homes of thousands of Latino renters and squatters.</p><!-- Module ends: a-body-after-first-para--></div><div id="mod-ctr-in-bt" style="" class="mod-adcpc"><!-- Module starts: ctr-in-bt (AdCpc) --><script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ var loc = window.location.href + "";
