Like many Los Angeles Dodgers fans, Millie Turnure was on the edge of her seat watching Wednesday’s exciting World Series game against the Houston Astros.

But Turnure has seen much more baseball than most Dodgers fans.

The Hemet resident, who turns 102 on Monday, Oct. 30, has been following the team since it moved to Los Angeles in 1958.

She was even decked in Dodgers blue as she watched the Wednesday, Oct. 25, game in her Hemet mobile home.

“I’m blue clear through,” she said.

For each Dodgers game, Turnure pulls a desk chair about two feet from the TV and roots for her beloved team, which is playing in its first World Series since 1988.

She doesn’t watch quietly.

“You ought to hear me sitting by myself yelling,” she said. “I’m always yelling at (Dodgers manager Dave) Roberts ‘That’s a dumb move.'”

When Fox broadcaster Joe Buck mentioned that Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig has been a more patient batter this year, Turnure muttered under her breath “too much.”

She earlier criticized the energetic outfielder for not swinging at enough pitches.

And when Dodger star Justin Turner hit into a double play, Turnure stomped her foot on the floor.

Turnure has been known to turn the television to Dodgers games in the clubhouse of RV resort where she has lived for 42 years, but said she hasn’t found too many fans among her neighbors.

“There’s no one around I can talk baseball with,” she said. “No one’s as interested as I am.”

When asked about players she has admired, Turnure names current Dodgers. She said her favorite all-time player is pitcher Clayton Kershaw. She’s also fond of outfielder Chris Taylor and first baseman Cody Bellinger.

She doesn’t spew facts about old-time Dodgers such as Sandy Koufax, Steve Garvey and Fernando Valenzuela and only recalls Kirk Gibson’s 1988 World Series home run — perhaps the most famous moment in L.A. Dodgers history — through replays.

“I wasn’t quite as rabid then as I am now,” she said.

Turnure said he has always enjoyed baseball and softball and shared newspapers clippings from when she pitched two no-hitters and a perfect game in 1937 for softball teams in her hometown of St. Louis.

Tall and thin, Turnure still drives and plays pool three times week in a men’s league.

“Just stay active,” she said when asked how she has lived so long. “Keep walking.”

Born in 1915, Turnure never went to high school, but took a job after finishing grammar school in 1930 as the Great Depression hit.

She got married in 1943 and the family moved to California in 1952, settling in El Monte. She and her first husband retired to Hemet in 1977.

As a stay-at-home mother of four, most of Turnure’s baseball came from watching her two sons play in youth leagues.

Widowed twice, she turns to baseball as her summertime entertainment, though she started following the sport as a youngster.

“Oh I was, yes indeedy,” she said when asked if she rooted for the hometown Cardinals. “Once we moved down here, I had to switch.”

Despite her love of the Dodgers, it’s all been from afar. She’s only been to one Dodgers game in person.

“I feel closer to them on TV,” Turnure said.

MILLIE’S DODGER VIEWS

On manager Dave Roberts: “I’m always telling him (through the television) I can manage the team better than he can.”

On outfielder Yasiel Puig, who has begun sticking out his tongue when he makes a good play: “I don’t like his tongue, but I like him as a player.”

On Puig’s at bats: “He’s too cautious. I’m always yelling at him, ‘Swing, you damn fool.'”

On pitcher Rich Hill, who started Wednesday’s game a little shaky: “All the guys on the pregame show said they have to keep the ball low on these guys (the Astros). They didn’t listen.”

On third baseman Justin Turner, after he hit a fly ball for an out: “I like Turner better when he hit those line drives.”

On former manager Tommy Lasorda, who was known to use foul language: “I say them myself sometimes while watching this.”
