Don’t worry too much about the Monday bobble, there has been great progress in the technology lately.

Of course the Dodgers get an article for having 10 bobblehead days. Just curious why the Brewers didn’t get one for having 10 as well. Seems like there is some big market bias.

In any case, despite Monday playing for the Cubs, the moment has always been huge in the history of Dodger Stadium and in turn the Dodgers. It is celebrated by the franchise year after year.

The two people were 37-year-old William Errol Thomas and his 11-year-old son. From my book, 100 Things Dodger Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die: “Following up on the case days later, the Los Angeles Times found that ‘the man who tried to burn the American flag at Dodger Stadium was attempting to draw attention to what he claims is his wife’s imprisonment in a Missouri mental institution, authorities say.’ It paints the attempt to burn the flag as something less than viciously anti-American.” ...

So if Magic gets one, do Stan Kasten and Ned Colletti also get one? Because those are the ones I want.

I like Magic’s hands off approach to owning a baseball team.
