Welcome to the Blue, Bobby Abreau.  Obviously, he won't be a everyday starter like he wanted to be with the Angels.  Maybe the general lack of interest caused him to reevaluate his position, or maybe he just wanted out of Anaheim.  Via a Dodgers Press Release: The Los Angeles Dodgers today announced the signing of outfielder Bobby Abreu to a one-year contract and optioned infielder Justin Sellers to Triple-A Albuquerque.

He was instrumental in the...

Opening Day at Dodger Stadium couldn't come any sooner. This years 50th anniversary of Dodger Stadium is marked by the commemoration of the first Dodger team to play there. The 1962 Dodgers won 101 games that year, but lost a three game playoff against the Giants whom they tied at the end of the season.

It has become sacrosanct that O'Malley was the villain who took the beloved Dodgers away from Brooklyn.  He stole the hearts of the borough by following the financial gravy train to the West Coast.  We know now, of course, that there was much more at play.  The Dodgers were unable to secure the right to built a new stadium in Brooklyn and scoffed at the idea of moving the team out of their home city.  Heck, you could say that he did...

I ran into this vintage stadium seat and knew I had to share it here.This is a original stadium seat that once graced the stands at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn.

So, I'll have to enjoy if from afar. It almost looks too fragile to sit on, but I know that...
