Ron Cey, Fleetwood Mac and a Lamp
You never know what you're going to find on eBay. In fact, if you search long enough you'll no doubt see something weird.
The lamp in this post is a good example. Featured is a circa 1982 working lamp made especially for the band Fleetwood Mac. It features a penguin dressed up in Dodger Blue, and it has been signed on the lampshade by the Penguin himself, Ron Cey. (eBay Auction Link)
Dodgers Memorabilia at Lelands Current Auction
Lelands current auction, dubbed the "Steel Curtain" auction due to large
number of Pittsburgh Steelers jersey's available, includes several
fantastic Dodger items. I'll highlight a couple of them here and focus
on a group of other stuff from the collection of former Dodger pitcher
Claude Osteen later on.

The Dodgers 2017 yearbook is now available, and it features both Dave Roberts and Corey Seager on the cover. Go here to order online. Also, limited quantities will be available at Camelback Ranch.
As for current spring activities, the Dodgers held their third full-squad workout yesterday. Julio UrĂas, Adam Liberatore, Grant Dayton, Josh Sborz and Yaisel Sierra all threw their first live bullpens. Scott Kazmir and Hyun-Jin Ryu are throwing live bullpens today. BTW, Cactus League play begins tomorrow with the Dodgers playing the White Sox at Camelback Ranch -- starting at 1:05 PM and will be aired on SNLA. Clayton Kershaw and Alex Wood are scheduled to pitch in the game.

Go here to check out a bunch of pics taken by Dodger photographer Jon SooHoo from yesterday. Below are more links to check out:
- Thia Day in Dodger History: In 1940 the Dodgers got soon-to-be fan favorite and Brooklyn mainstay Pee Wee Reese from the Red Sox for some players to be named later (none of whom amounted to much), $35k in cash and a rusty bus (just kidding). In 2001 the Dodgers traded Devon White to the Brewers for Marquis Grissom.
