Blog Kiosk: 5/3/2019 - Dodgers Links - National League Player of the Month Cody Bellinger

In celebration of Cody Bellinger earning the National League 'Player of the Month' honors for the month of April I made the above two fantasy custom Baseball cards of him. Per Chad Thornburg at MLB.com:

"I'm understanding how to use my swing and working in the cage every day to repeat what I'm doing," Bellinger said. "Just not trying to do too much. It's fun, for sure. Every day before the game, I know what I want to do. The days I feel off, it's knowing what it is I want to do and getting it back."

• This Day in Dodgers History: In 1947 Branch Rickey made a trade that sent a signal to the Dodgers clubhouse - He will not waiver in his commitment to break the color barrier and support Jackie Robinson. He trades Kirby Higbe, Dixie Howell, Cal McLish, Hank Behrman and Gene Mauch to Pittsburgh for Al Gionfriddo and $100,000. Higbe is the special target of this trade, as he openly disapproved of Robinson as a teammate. In 1986 Ron Cey hit his 300th and 301st career home runs. He did it as a Cub against the Giants.
• Happy Birthday, Dan Bankhead, Chris Cannizzaro, Davey Lopes & Darren Dreifort!
