Here’s a strange thought
John Lennon, whose 70th birthday would have been this past Saturday, would have been the same age as Joe Torre — Lennon born 10/9/40, and Torre 7/18/40.
Another strange thought: when Lennon died in 1980, he was actually younger than I am now.
10/10/10 thoughts.

After last night’s Ethier grand slam:
“With the opportunities he’s had and as many times as he’s done it, I don’t remember anybody being as heroic as him of all the guys I managed,” said Joe Torre, who held a team meeting after back-to-back blowout losses.
I’ll give you one guess which former Torre player popped into my mind first. ;)

The Dodgers Italian Connection
Maria Serrao, a fixture in LA sports reporting currently with COX/RPV-TV (and one of the folks featured in Bluetopia) put together a short feature on the three Italians at the top of the Dodgers organization — Tommy Lasorda, Joe Torre, and Ned Colletti. And The Dodgers Italian Connection just won an award.
[It] was my pleasure to sit down with these three men and talk about their Italian heritage. As a result the feature called the “Italian Story” won a National award this week, called The Telly.
Maria has also started up a sports blog recently called, appropriately, Maria Serrao’s Sports Blog.
