With all the 50th Anniversary brouhaha this past season, it’s perhaps fitting that in this dark Dodger post-season morass there is a what-might-have-been to celebrate — Mike Scioscia, born on this date in 1958.
I wonder who Mike will be adding to his lineup cards next year. A new pitcher to replace a big hitter perhaps? Or a different big hitter that would really steam the Dodgers? Hard to say.
But in any case, and whatever the current turmoil in blue, a Happy Birthday to Scioscia.
And who knows: maybe he’ll be back with the Dodgers some day. ;)
