Normally I’m not a big fan of the bobblehead commericals, but this one is actually really cute:

Memorizing the Dodgers Retired Numbers
The set of people who are both readers of this site and users of the Mac flash card program iFlash is probably quite small, but just in case I’ll let you know I uploaded a “Dodgers Retired Numbers” deck to their Deck Library if you’d like to memorize those.
Here’s the Dodgers Retired Numbers page on Dodgers.com as well.
(I discovered over the weekend that you can also sync up iFlash decks with an iPhone/iTouch app for on-the-go memorization, so that’s pretty handy. I grabbed a couple of GRE vocab study decks to keep up my vocabulary chops. :)

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.
