I am not sure if I've ever seen what the scoreboard looked like during Dodger games at the LA Coliseum. So, when I came across the above pic I knew I had to make note of it. Featured above is the Dodgers scoreboard from Game 5 of the 1959 World Series. (eBay Auction Link)

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1954 the Dodgers signed amateur free agent Sandy Koufax to a contract - a $6,000 salary and $14,000 bonus. This made Sandy a "bonus baby" (having a bonus over $4,000) and required the Dodgers to keep him on the Major League roster for two years. As a result, the Dodgers would option Tommy Lasorda to the Montreal Royals. In 1990 the Dodgers signed free agent outfielder Brett Butler to a four-year $13 million contract.
