Joe Torre grew to love baseball playing with his friends on the streets of Brooklyn, New York, using nothing more than a wadded-up piece of paper and a broken broomstick.<br />
Torre will lead the Dodgers to Beijing on March 15 and 16 to face the San Diego Padres in the MLB China Series 2008 at the Wukesong Baseball field, the venue for baseball events during the Olympic Games. They will be the first MLB games ever played in China.
