- Via Jon Weisman at Dodger Insider; "De Jong, Farmer and Rhame join Dodgers’ 40-man roster." What this means is that they cannot be sniped by another team during the upcoming Rule 5 Draft on December 8th.

- Via Nick Diunte at Baseball Happenings; "Bob Addis, 91, infamous play changed the fortunes of Dodgers 1951 season."
Barreling towards home plate on teammate Earl Torgeson’s ground ball to Brooklyn Dodgers second baseman Jackie Robinson, Addis deftly slid underneath the tag of Roy Campanella, evoking an emphatic safe call from umpire Frank Dascoli. Chaos of the resulting call ensued, with the results quickly altering the course of the Dodgers season. For the next 65 years, Addis held steadfast to the umpire’s call, never wavering from the outcome. On November 15th, 2016, Addis passed away at the age of 91 in Mentor, Ohio.
- BTW, tomorrow Vin Scully will be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a special White House ceremony. So, stay tuned for that. In the meantime, check out Vin and Sandra Scully preparing to board their plane to DC, via a tweet from the Dodgers:
