Topps on twitter recently shared some photos from the bowels of their offices in Duryea, PA. It included pics of some game-used jersey's they use to put into cards. Check out the Dee Gordan gamer above (pic via

- I sympathize with what Jon is saying at Dodger Thoughts. I too would keep a caught foul ball, and would never consider handing it over to anybody.
- Greg, why do you taunt me so? He post up a recent autographed card of former Dodgers prospect Carlos Santana at Plaschke, Thy Sweater is Argyle. He would have been a very formidable bat in our lineup.
- Guerra passes a concussion test after being whacked in the face by a hard liner, via True Blue LA.
- The screaming about Javy Guerra is a bit irrational. Remember, patience is a virtue in Baseball. Steve Dilbeck seems to agree as he writes that "Javy Guerra Has Earned the Right to Rebound as Dodgers Closer."
Sure, watch him closely, but this is a guy who has only been on the job for four months. Cut him some slack.
All
he did last year was convert 21 of 23 save opportunities. He’s 7 of 9
this year. Not exactly the same as last season, but it doesn’t mean the
sky is falling.
- DodgersBobble was at the Angels FanFest last weekend and has his story and a bunch of pictures to prove it. Unfortunately, I had no idea this event was going on, so apologize for not listing it on my calendar. RBI Collecting has their own post up about the Angels FanFest.
- Left Field Pavilion beautifies a Jon SooHoo pic of Andre Ethier, here.
- I could watch this for hours. The USC Song Girls were at Dodger Stadium and here's a video to prove it. I didn't go to USC, but I have to say that I have always loved their fight song.
- FanGraphs interviews Ralph Branca.
DL: How big was baseball in New York in the 1940s and 1950s?
RB: It was really big. We had three teams and it was the only time a
city ever had three teams. There were three different rooting interests
and everybody was a real, real fan of their team. Giants fans were big
for the Giants, and the same for Yankees and Dodgers fans. Everybody
thought their team was the greatest.
