Here's a vintage World Wide Photo print featuring Dodgers ace Sandy Koufax with Jay North - aka, Dennis the Menace. They appeared together in an episode of Dennis the Menace in May 1962 -- during 31st episode of season 3. The episode was titled, "Dennis and the Dodger." The photo is available through RMY Auctions. You can watch much of the episode on Daily Motion, here.

- Remembering Jose Lima. Per Ron Cervenka at Think Blue LA -- "‘It’s Lima Time’"
When José took off his jacket and emerged from the Dodgers’ dugout to pitch the ninth, the place went nuts. Ten pitches later, our beloved José Lima was swarmed by his teammates after collecting what would end up being the Dodgers only 2004 NLDS victory. It was indeed “Lima Time” and a memory that ever Dodger fan will cherish forever.
