2014 Topps Tribute Baseball - The Dodgers Autographed Cards

Here is my last post featuring Dodger cards from the 2014 Topps Tribute Baseball card set.  This time I feature the Dodgers' autographed cards.  Go here to check out my previous post on this set.

BTW, there are also Tribute Milestones Autographed Relics of both Yasiel Puig (#TMAR-YP) and Hyun-Jin Ryu (#TMAR-HJR), but they have yet to surface.  I suspect these are extremely limited, and may be "1 of 1's".

According to a checklist, there are at least 3 different Duke Snider and 2 different Johnny Podres autographed cards.  Unfortunately, I have yet to see them all.  At this point, I have only seen 2 of the Snider cards and a Podres card.  Check them out below.

Blog Kiosk: 2/19/2014 - Dodgers Links - Keeping Hanley Focused, Puig's International Impact and Dodger Ping Pong

Eric Karros and Mark McGwire are featured in the photo above, via Jon SooHoo/LA Dodgers 2014.

• Here's a 360º tour of the Dodgers Weight Room at Camelback Ranch, via the @Dodgers on twitter.
• Ron Cervenka at Think Blue LA has some updated construction photos from Dodger Stadium.
• Miguel Rojas, a slick-fielding infielder vying for a job, just beat Kershaw, via a tweet from @markasaxon.

Apparently, Miguel Rojas does have great hands. He just beat reigning champ Clayton Kershaw in ping pong

• BTW, the Dodgers annual ping pong doubles tournament has just begun, via Josh Tucker at Dodger Insider.
• Via Mark Saxon at ESPN, "Seth Rosin hopes to deliver on promise".  Rosin was a Rule 5 Draft pick, so the Dodgers have to place him on the roster to keep him.
• Via Ken Gurnick at MLB.com, "Mattingly ensuring Hanley is not distracted".

"It's a conversation I wanted to have. I didn't want it hanging out there," said Mattingly. "I've been a player, I know. He knows what I think about him as a player."

• Mark Langill at Dodger Insider writes a piece titled, "Remembering Walter Alston".
• 2014 Topps Tribute officially comes out today.  Below are some preview pics, via Topps facebook page.  Do you see that '1 of 1' Puig batknob?  It's gorgeous.

• Via Jesse Sanchez at MLB.com, "Puig's impact goes beyond the field for Dodgers".

"New ownership came in and asked what were some of the things we needed to do immediately, and we said, 'We need to get engaged in Latin America like today,' and they said, 'Let's go,"' Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said. "Puig became available and we made a push to sign him, but also to serve notice to other players in Latin America that we are back and we are real and we'll spend money for talent."

• Via Ben Badler at Baseball America, he shares a video from a Cuban League Baseball game, and it features a brawl on the field you will not believe.
• This isn't great news.  The Bob Feller Museum in Iowa is in financial trouble, via Tommy Birch at the Des Moines Register.

Feller “was the engine that powered that museum,” DiBiasio said. “With his passing, the business model is just not working.”

Blog Kiosk: 2/18/2014 - Dodgers Links - Koufax's Return, Figgins Working to Get Back and League has a Mild Strain

Matt Kemp takes in some words of wisdom from Sandy Koufax, pic via @Dodgers on twitter.

• Listen to last nights Dodger Talk, here.
• Via Dylan Hernandez at the LA Times, "Sandy Koufax wants Yasiel Puig to improve but defends his showmanship".

“You have a great arm, you want to show it off, but I’d like to see him throw it to the right place all the time,” Koufax said. “He’s young. The biggest thing is he’s not played against competition as good as he is. So you’re always able to have your physical ability make up for whatever else you do. He’s learning. I’m sure it’s going to happen. He has too much talent.”

• Eric Stephen at True Blue LA also writes a bit about Koufax's visit to Camelback Ranch.  On Clayton Kershaw: 

"At 25 you don't have to adjust. Talk to me when he's 35. He just has to keep doing what he's doing, and every year he has gotten better," he said. "If he keeps getting better the sky's the limit, and if he doesn't get any better the sky's still the limit. He's a great pitcher, he's special."

• Bill Plunkett at the OC Register pens a good piece on the struggles of Chone Figgens and his desire to get back into the game.
• Topps newest Baseball card set is coming out on Wednesday.  It's 2014 Topps Tribute.  Check out a preview pic of a Clayton Kershaw autographed card on the right.  Pic via @Toppscards on twitter.
• Via Tyler Emerick and Ken Gurnick at MLB.com, "League using caution with mild lat strain".  Just another potential Dodger injury to worry about.

"We don't think it's anything serious," Mattingly said. "But we want to be extra cautious, especially with the schedule we've got, we don't want anybody pushing it and winding up with something worse. Just like Zach, Brandon is feeling better and he's moving closer to getting back on the mound."

• Dodger Penguin was at the Steve Sax signing on Saturday and shares his awesome experience.
• Dodger Penguin then visited Harry's Dugout for the Jack McDowell signing, our new Dodgers Single A manager, and shares some pics.
