What the heck is this?
Apparently there are plans to build something called an Aerial Rapid Transit or "ART" system that will allow fans to travel from Union Station in Downtown LA to Dodger Stadium inside a gondola in just minutes.Wha....!? No Frick'n Way!
Go here to find out more. BTW, this is all still in the planning stages. The system isn't expected to be operational until 2022.

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1949 the Dodgers turn the 19th triple play of its history. Gene Hermanski, Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges perform the act in the third inning against the Boston Braves with Alvin Dark at the plate. In 2001 Dodgers GM Kevin Malone resigns after 2 1/2 years on the job. In 2008 Brad Penny throws a 98-MPH fastball that is missed by catcher Russell Martin and knocks out umpire Kerwin Danley. He is stretchered off the field. Also on this day Vin Scully received an honorary Doctor of Law degree from Pepperdine University. You can watch his commencement speech at Pepperdine here.
