The Dodgers are replacing the Julio Urías bobblehead promotion for the night of September 21 with a giveaway of select premium bobbleheads to the first 30,000 fans in attendance. https://www.rawchili.com/3054955/
I had braced myself for the reality that Kiké would have to leave Dodgers and play for a different team yet again, so I'm ecstatic at the news that the Dodger front office chose Kiké over Margot.
USA Today fell for the (fake/wrong) "Dodger Stadium is Flooded" social media 😬 And no correction (it was not. It was an optical illusion, a wet, black parking lot). #journalism#Dodgers#Dodger#Hilary#disinformation
Today in Labor History, October 30, 1945: Jackie Robinson signed a contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers, breaking the baseball color line in Major League Baseball. His first game with the Dodgers was in April, 1947. Robinson was an accomplished athlete, becoming the first student at UCLA to win letters in 4 different sports (baseball, basketball, football and track). Though he only played MLB for 10 seasons, he was MLB’s first Rookie of the Year, was a 6-time All-Star, and won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1949. He also played in six World Series. In response to racist protests by his teammates, manager Leo Durocher said, "I do not care if the guy is yellow or black, or if he has stripes like a fuckin' zebra. I'm the manager of this team, and I say he plays. What's more, I say he can make us all rich. And if any of you cannot use the money, I will see that you are all traded." Robinson’s teammate and fellow hall-of-famer Pee Wee Reese said, "You can hate a man for many reasons. Color is not one of them."
I just spent an hour trying to figure out when the #Dodgers and #Padres#baseball games in Korea are happening in my time zone.
If I understand it correctly, the games marked as happening at 11pm ET/8pm PT on the 17th/18th are actually 11pm ET/8pm PT on the 16th/17th (which will be the 17th/18th in Korea). The games happening at 6am/3am are actually on the day they are listed on the calendar.
I see everyone is up in arms about the Dodgers’ latest big free agent signing.
So I need to remind everyone again that the Colorado Rockies have not yet finished executing their offseason Master Plan. Relax. #MLB#Baseball#ColoradoRockies#Dodgers
Sheehan is suffering the same fate as Kershaw, getting hammered by the DBacks in the 2nd inning. Insane score 9-0 DBacks over the Dodgers heading into the bottom of the 2nd. #MLB#Baseball#Dodgers#DBacks#NLDS
Found the Crank. Field level 39-45. Will still be in protest until the cranks are restored on all levels. I’m happy with our progress but we have a long road ahead of us. Keep up the good work. https://www.rawchili.com/3049185/
