Ontario Buzzers Opening Day: A New Era Begins

Who are the Ontario Tower Buzzers

The “Tower Buzzers” are a minor league team connected to the Los Angeles Dodgers. A “Single-A affiliate.”

So this means:
• The Tower Buzzers are part of the Dodgers’ farm system, developing younger players.
• Players can advance to higher levels and eventually the Dodgers.

At the Single-A level:
• Players are early in their pro careers, often recent draft picks or international signings.
• Coaches emphasize fundamentals and development.

Connection to the Dodgers:
• The Dodgers assign players to the Tower Buzzers and control player contracts.
• If a player performs well, they get promoted, with some eventually reaching the Dodgers roster.

A Dedicated Fan

Q: Why did you decide to go to the Ontario Buzzers Opening Day game?

Being a Dodgers fan for as long as I can remember, I was sad the Dodgers parted ways with the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. Yet, I was excited to see the Dodgers’ new minor league team be born and to be there from the very start. I also brought my brother along for the experience, as he had never been to a minor league game.

Q: How was your experience?

It is a completely different experience compared to when you attend a major league game. Smaller crowd, the entertainment in between innings, the interaction with other fans, and seeing more families coming to enjoy a game under the lights while enjoying the food at a much more reasonable price.

Q: Overall experience?

The overall experience was great. Being able to share it with my brother, Elias, made it more special.
