Fifty years ago today, the Dodgers purchased a 44-passenger airplane to become the first major-league team to own their own air transport, hot-air balloons excluded.
Fifty-two years ago today, Walter O'Malley invited Vin Scully to lunch.
Details at Walteromalley.com.
I don't know if he ever met with Walter O'Malley. I suspect not.
Well, Stephanie, I can think of one Los Angeles CITY Librarian who I'd bet would give it a read.
Are they Wisoncsin fans who get homicided, by chance?
Anyhow, this whole post at LA Observed is fascinating, including the linked posts about what searches lead people to LA Observed (mostly searches for sexy female newsreaders).

Unfortunately not, because he pawned his dentures to get his girlfriend a silver comb.
Hey, Steve, nice to see you too. Hope the Bar exam went well. Know it did.
It was tough for him to think of a touching sacrificial gift every year for his wife. Good thing she died young.
Stanford lost at home to Cal last night - though I didn't even notice it in the paper today.
Did O. Henry ever win the O. Henry?
What would the New York Times call the Mary Anne Evans?
peavy, young, maddux, johnson, webb, cain, zito, schmidt, lowe, penny....i kinda feel bad for colorado.
But you get the NFL Network and the chance to hear Bryant Gumbel do play-by-play.
There is one fan who employs very interesting metaphors.
There's a good chance of UCLA winning its next two. That reminds me, though, that I was at the game in 95 where Oregon beat the Ed O'Bannon led Bruin squad that went on to win the national championship. I think that was one of only two losses that year for the champs...
Thankfully, yes. Now I just hope it is not Rob Ryan or someone else that will just depress me.
I thought everyone thought that way. Even Kobe seems to be thinking that way.
And if all officials are bad, wouldn't everybody then be wrong?
You have never met someone who is a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. You know how many times since 1967 have the Leafs been cheated out of the Stanley Cup by refs?
EVERY SINGLE ONE!
And probably good ones for water polo too.
We still laugh about that to this day.
That depends upon the fire laws.
Hey trainwreck, what insane person would possibly want to take the Raiders job? Isn't that why they had to hire Shell in the first place?
Actually, the only person they offered the job to last year was Petrino, but he decided not to take it. Whisenhunt wanted complete control so Al told him to get lost. So Shell was his second choice, because Al has always felt he made a mistake in firing Art. He was wrong.
I guess they could depress me and hire Rob Ryan or Mike Martz.
Sorry trainwreck, you're good people, but I hate the Raiders. I hope they hire Rich Kotite.
If they hired Karl Dorrell you would love them.
Decrepit Jerkface Brock. Has a nice ring to it.
It works in the NFL, which is just about the most boring and predictable product in modern sports. I'd bet he'd be a better NFL coach than college coach.
