Check out Tommy Davis, "Sweet" Lou Johnson, Tim Leary and Derrel Thomas on Day 2 of the Dodgers Community Caravan. Pic above tweeted by Courtney Jones. Check out more pics from yesterday from Jon SooHoo, here.
- Via Peter Gammons, the Dodgers are the team to beat in the NL West.
- Via Daniel Brim at Dodgers Digest, "Pitcher Hitting – The Dodgers’ Secret Weapon?"
- Via Jon Weisman at Dodger Insider, "Stan Kasten named LASC Sports Executive of the Year". This is no surprise considering the dramatic (and largely positive) changes the Dodgers have undertaken since his leadership.
- Via TMZ, the reckless driving charge against Yasiel Puig in Florida has been dropped. He is now dealing with just a speeding charge. This is probably the most apt charge to remain. In the police video that was release it seemed apparent that he wasn't weaving around like a maniac; just driving way too fast. From my understanding, a reckless driving charge is always added to speeding tickets over 100 mph (at least that's custom in CA).
- Via Ken Gurnick at MLB.com, "Prospect Lee aims to be ready when called".
"I'm trying to win a job, striving to get here as soon as I can. If I pitch well and control what I can control, the opportunity will present itself not far down the road. There are contractual issues, but if you outperform people, there will be a spot for you."
- Via Bill Plaschke at the LA Times, "Athletes' union movement at Northwestern could have huge implications".
- Ryan G at Chaos and Kanji shares some photos from his day at the, "Nagoya Dome: A Baseball Game with the Chunichi Dragons".
- Hobby veteran Bob Lemke wonders, "Was Ruth's "Called Shot" ball discovered?"
Baseball memorabilia collectors weren’t so hung up on airtight provenance 65+ years ago, so there’s no telling now whether a baseball claimed in a 1947 Sporting News article to be Babe Ruth’s “Called Shot” home run ball was in fact the real McCoy.
- Greatest home run call, EVER! You gotta watch it. I cannot stop laughing. And, it's a Manny Ramirez homer! (Hat Tip: TheNebuchadnezzar on Reddit)
