You can't argue with the success of a good promotion. There will be a second Hello Kitty Night coming to Dodger Stadium and the above tote bag will be the give-away. It will be on Wednesday, September 5th against the Padres. Only the firs 30,000 fans will get one.
The Hall of Nearly Great is an ebook meant to celebrate the careers
of those who are not celebrated. It’s not a book meant to reopen
arguments about who does and does not deserve Hall of Fame enshrinement.
Rather, it remembers those who, failing entrance into Cooperstown, may
unfairly be lost to history. It’s for the players we grew up rooting
for, the ones whose best years led to flags and memories that will fly
together forever. Players like David Cone, Will Clark, Dwight Evans,
Norm Cash, Kenny Lofton, Brad Radke, and many others.
- You should be checking out John Thorn's blog called "Our Game"every day. He provides a wealth of knowledge about the history and origins of Baseball. BTW, he happens to be the Official Historian of MLB. see his most recent blog post, here.
- Nomo's Sushi Platter shows a couple of Bob Welch autographs he got at autograph alley this past Tuesday.
- Eye on LA Sports recaps the Padres series with some autograph "gets".
- MLB is currently auctioning off the 2012All-Star Workout Day/Home Run Derby worn jerseys. Check out the Matt Kemp signed jersey (here), and Clayton Kershaw jersey (here).
- BTW, a card I featured a couple of years ago as a "Card of the Week" has just hit eBay. It is a very rare Manny Ramirez 2000 Pacific "corked bat" relic card. See the auction here. This is the card that took down Pacific as a card company.
- Oooohhh! Crapola!!! Ya know, I would normally find this bit of news/rumors extremely distressing, but since the Kings won The Cup this past season I'm strangely ho-hum about it. The NHL and players union are currently negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement and according to a source at Comcast Sportnet you should expect a full work stoppage.
“Last time around, the NHL made its salary cap proposal and barely moved
off it,” the source, speaking under the condition of anonymity, told
PHT. “This is not an initial proposal. The league is shutting down and
it’s ‘come back when you’re ready to accept.’
“This is exactly what happened last time. You heard it here first, we will not play next year.”
