USC men's basketball head coach Eric Musselman attends Dodgers game at Chavez Ravine
Eric Musselman has certainly made a name for himself as a basketball coach. That said, hoops is not the only sport he loves. Musselman is also a big baseball fan, and has attended numerous games throughout Southern California since taking the USC head coaching job. Last Tuesday, Musselman was in attendance for the Los Angeles Dodgers versus San Diego Padres game at Dodger Stadium. Prior to the game, Musselman chatted on the field with Padres manager Mike Shildt and Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell. 'Date night at Dodger Stadium,' Musselman wrote on social media, accompanied by a photo of himself and his family on the field. Musselman grew up in San Diego and attended the University of San Diego, so he grew up a Padres fan. Unfortunately for him, however, San Diego came up short in this one, as the Dodgers won 8-6. Eric Musselman witnessed one of the best matchups in Major League Baseball in 2025. Hopefully this helps him sell a vision of excellence to his 2025-2026 USC team, which will be expected to reach the NCAA Tournament and raise the bar for the Trojan hoops program.
