A Scene From The Indeterminate Future

PrintAndrew: Now child, this is Dad's collection of baseball memorobilia. This guy that I have all these cards of, that's Alfredo Griffin. For some reason, I have 15 of him all neatly organized.
Andrew's Child: What's that up there?
Andrew: That's my collection of bobble heads, they used to give those out all the time a while ago. That guy right there, that's Kirk Gibson. You remember him from that video I showed you.
AC: Wow, who's that.
Andrew: That's Hideo Nomo, you know, he was the first person to come from Japan and pitch in the big leagues. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be able to tell you about the time Hiroki Kuroda hit for the cycle.
AC: Wow. Who's that next to him?
Andrew: Let me see...Joe...Beimel? You know, honestly I don't remember. Say, did I ever tell you about the time that Chan Ho Park tried to kung fu kick someone?
AC: Can I go ride bikes now?
(Note that this scene is based on the very inaccurate assumption that a woman would choose to breed with a blogger.)
(Upon further review this isn't funny. I'm sorry.)

Come
to think of it, you reminded me that I have way to many Jose Offerman cards.
Two out of three starts for Billingsley have had Bennett behind the plate catching. The loss April 8 to Arizona and today. Martin caught the loss against Maddux and the Padres. I wonder why you wouldn’t put your all star catcher behind the plate to help guide a young pitcher. I guess Billingsley has just drawn the short stick of the Russell Martin work schedule.
Maybe your kid is a clone. . .
grown ectogenesis style, obviating the need to trick a woman into bearing a blogger’s child.
I have a hunch there’ll be a market for that.

At least
your kid will want to ride a bike. It is possible the Joe Beimel bobblehead will do down as the most worthless bobblehead in Dodger history but I still think it is cool he is having his day.
lol
Funny stuff. I love how we’re fickle as shit when it comes to Chad Billingsley/Matt Kemp/Andy LaRoche, you know, future superstars, but we’ll always have a spot on our team for Mr. Beimel, so much so that we’ve now chosen to immortalize him. Couldn’t we do another round of Martin bobble-heads?
