- As you know, Ricky Nolasco signed a contract with the Twins. Well, last night he sent out a tweet thanking Dodger fans for last year. Class act, that guy.
I would also like to thank @Dodgers for great times and memories I will never forget. HUGE TY to Dodger fans for their support as well!

- John Thorn at Our Game tells us all about, "Slivers, the Baseball Clown".
Circus clown Frank Oakley, born Frank Anderson but known as “Slivers,” was born in Sweden in 1871. His most famous act, the pantomime “Ball Game,” played on the baseball fan’s fantasy trope, “Kill the Umpire.”
- Via Bill Shaikin at the LA Times, "MLB players appoint Tony Clark leader, discuss tougher PED penalties".
"Michael (Weiner) was a friend, an advisor and a mentor of mine," Clark said. "The vision he laid out for me and for the organization when I came onboard a handful of years ago is the same vision we are going to continue."
