Don Newcombe is looking good. A couple of weeks ago he fell ill at Dodger Stadium and had to go to hospital. Now, he's doing well enough to visit the boys at the stadium. Above, he is featured with old friend Fernando Valenzuela, via a pic by Jon SooHoo/LA Dodgers 2015.

"I'm just kind of jealous she put on that good of a concert and didn't invite us," he said, referring to the show she played at Nationals Park just before the Dodgers came to town. You know, the show Max Scherzer blamed for causing the power to go out in the stadium on July 17. "If she's gonna blow the lights out, she should invite us," said Pederson.

Dodger pitcher Mike Bolsinger agrees that fans are more aggressive.
“It’s crazy now, they’re not hesitant to just scream out and ask for the autograph,” Bolsinger said with a laugh. “They yell ‘gimme the ball,’ and I'm just like, ‘wow, I guess.’”
Still, Bolsinger takes time before each game and even signed during a rain delay on day he was pitching in Washington, D.C., recently.
“It’s pretty fun to meet and talk to people from every city we go to,” he said.

‘We know it is a man because the poos are too massive to be from a woman,’ he explained.
