LOS ANGELES — The fluffy tunes have become some of the most ferocious sounds at Dodger Stadium this year.
In any other context, the “Smelly Cat” song from the 1990s TV show “Friends,” or Tom Jones’ single “What’s New Pussycat?” or “Cat’s in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin, would hardly strike fear in an opponent.
But every time they’re played by Dodger Stadium organist Dieter Ruehle these days, it’s an indication the Dodgers’ “Catman” is again purring on the mound.
