• "Vin Scully Way coming soon to Los Angeles?"  Via KABC.

"There's no honor that could be too great for Vin Scully, and I absolutely would love to rename a street for him. We'll look at a few around the stadium as a possibility," said Garcetti. "I know there's been a lot in the Twittersphere, a lot of people tweeting and Facebooking about this."

The question that prompted the discussion came in from a viewer, who happens to be Scully's daughter-in-law, asking to change Stadium Way to Vin Scully Way.

• Vin Scully, as expected, rejects the idea of naming a street after him.  Via Dylan Hernandez at the LA Times:

“The mayor of Los Angeles has a great deal more important things to do than name a street after me,” Scully said in the statement. “And if he is considering the idea, better the street should be named after Walter or Peter O’Malley than myself.”

• "Dodgers' Kenley Jansen well-armed from both sides ," via Kevin Baxter at the LA Times.  Jansen does everything left-handed, except throwing a Baseball.

"When I was a kid I used to use a right-handed glove and I'd just put it on the other hand," says Jansen, who grew up in Curacao. "They almost started a fight with me. They said if I didn't stop doing that they would be beat me up."
