Born in Brooklyn in the early 40's, Sen. Bernie Sanders maintains his love for the club -- even as he moved to the northeast and became a Senator in Vermont. Yesterday, he visited the Dodgers at Camelback Ranch and spent plenty of time talking Baseball with Dave Roberts (as shown in the pic above) and hitting with Yasiel Puig (per pic on the right). Both photos are via Sanders' twitter here and here.Below are more links to check out:
- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1989 the Dodgers traded outfielder Mike Devereaux to Baltimore for starting pitcher Mike Morgan. Morgan would stay in LA for three seasons -- compiling a 33-36 record with an 3.06 ERA, 3.38 FIP and a 1.162 WHIP. In 2003 Mets catcher Mike Piazza charged the mound to go after Dodgers reliever Guillermo Mota during a spring training game at Thomas J. White Stadium in Port St. Lucie, FL. Mota plunked Piazza on the shoulder, so Piazza stormed after him -- even going into the Dodgers clubhouse. Both players would be suspended five games.

“I think last year was an incredible season for me,” Font said. “I never expected to be number one in ERA.“It was amazing.”
- A fascinating read on his management style. Via Nick Cafardo at the Boston Globe; "Gabe Kapler and his ‘holistic approach to human development’"
- Per Kerry Crowley at The Mercury News; "How former Dodger Tony Watson is adjusting to life with the Giants."
“It’s pretty cool,” Watson said. “It’s special to say that you can play on both sides of the rivalry because it is one of the best rivalries in sports. It was cool to be able to be apart of it for a couple of months in LA and for here, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
