Something terrible had happened, but sooner than I could say, "I should blog this" the mystery was solved. Via a tweet from the @Dodgers, Vin Scully had lost his 1988 World Series ring:
While Christmas shopping today, Vin Scully lost his 1988 World Series ring. If you find it, please contact the Dodgers at (323) 224-1500.

Then, less than 10 minutes later the @Dodgers tweeted this:
Great news! Vin Scully's 1988 World Series ring has been found. (This was not a drill -- Vin thanks everyone for their concern.)

Whew! That was a close one. I was worried that some unscrupulous person had walked off with his prize. Worse yet, I was this close (hands spread about a foot across) to putting a hex on the person who would dare commit such an egregious act. Heck, I was about to contact Vladimir Shpunt to send some "negative V" energy their way.
Seriousness aside, the best part of this brief episode (besides finding the ring) were some of the wisecracks found throughout twitter. Check some of them out below:
It's messed up that A.J. Preller demanded Vin Scully's ring be a part of the Matt Kemp trade

A part of me is willing to believe the above is true.
