Vin Scully Announces He Will Return in 2013

It's official, Vin Scully will return to the broadcast booth for the 2013 season which will be his 64th with the Dodgers.

"The new ownership of the Dodgers has revitalized the city, the team, the fans and myself.  I am so convinced of their great purpose and leadership that I eagerly look forward to joining them in pursuit of the next Dodgers championship."

I know the time will come when Vin will have to turn off his microphone but i'm not ready for that day yet. Glad to hear he'll be back for at least one more season!

Red Sox and Dodgers Working on Blockbuster Trade

The Dodgers and Red Sox are hard at work on a blockbuster deal involving up to 8 players.  According to multiple sources including ESPNBoston, the Dodgers would receive starting pitcher Josh Beckett, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, outfielder Carl Crawford, and utility player Nick Punto in exchange for Rubby De La Rosa, James Loney, Ivan De Jesus and Jerry Sands.  In a move that may show the validity of the rumors, De La Rosa was optioned to Triple-A early this afternoon.

Dodger ownership is taking no prisoners and showing they are willing to spend big money in absorbing some of these contracts.  We'll see if the trade gets completed.  What do you guys think of this possible trade?

Clayton Kershaw Signing - Photos & Recap

On Wednesday August 1, 2012, Clayton Kershaw had a public autograph signing at Frank & Son's.  The signing was put on by Honabach and Sons and OC Dugout.  Kershaw was originally scheduled to sign from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. but the night before the signing, the start time was changed to 6:00 p.m.  I arrived early by 5:00 p.m. and there were only a few people picking up their tickets at will call.

Kershaw arrived on time and immediately started signing.  He's a quiet guy but definitely made time to chat it up with fans.  I purchased V.I.P. tickets so I went through the line pretty quick. My ticket number was in the high 20's.

As you can see in the picture above, I got Kershaw to sign my 2011 Gold Glove winners picture which Kemp & Ethier had already signed. I also got my ROMLB 2011 All Star Game ball signed by Kershaw.  The ball had already been signed by Kemp and now I just need to add Ethier.

Check out my other pictures below.  Shout out to Michael who helped me pass the time in line.  I met Michael the week before at an auction at the OC Dugout.
