Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Is Pedro Guerrero a first round Lord of the Ravine?

1984 Topps

Is Pedro Guerrero worthy to sit in the Walter O'Malley Suite and become a 1st ballot member of the Vin Scully Lords of the Ravine?

Bhsportsguy makes the case

He also was a good clubhouse guy

an Anecdote from Baseball Almanac

Los Angeles third baseman Pedro Guerrero had committed several hard-to-believe fielding errors during one game. This was during the same time frame that Dodgers’ second baseman Steve Sax was undergoing his horrendous and well-publicized fielding slump in which he couldn’t throw the most routine ball to first without trouble.

In the post-game meeting, Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda was at a loss with Guerrero. “What are you thinking out there,” Lasorda asked.

“Two things,” Guerrero said.

“What’s the first thing?”

“God, don’t let them hit the ball to me.”

“And what’s the other thing,” Lasorda said.

“Don’t let them hit the ball to (Steve) Sax.”

Hmmm

That should read “For any Gaucho or anyone near Santa Barbara with $500 to spare”. I’m afraid I meet the first two criteria (more or less) but not the last… Thanks for the pointer anyway. ;-)

"I want to say he did it with relish, but that goes without saying."

That will be the funniest line I read today. Thanks for the link.

FYI

Single-game tickets for spring training go on sale Saturday at 10am. Parking is free at CBR in 2010.

(800) 745-3000, dodgers.com, or ticketmaster.com

Is it really necessary to buy tickers before hand? Last time I went to the Cactus League (which was 8 or so years ago) my buddies and I just showed up at the game and bought tickets. Will Dodgers games be that packed this spring?

Yeah I doubt it. But if you want awesome seats, Saturday is the way to go.

by Eric Stephen on Jan 8, 2010 9:36 AM PST up reply actions  

Since parking is free, you could also park and get into the complex and check out practice then a couple minor league games all for nothing. That would be cool.
