The Dodgers and Chicago White Sox on Thursday finalized plans to play an exhibition game on Friday, March 23 in Tucson to benefit the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation. The game will be played at Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium at 1:05 p.m., and all proceeds go to the foundation, established by the family of Green, one of the victims of a shooting in Tucson on January 8, 2011.
The event was planned to raise money for the victims and families affected by that shooting. The Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks played a game last spring in Tucson, on March 25, 2011 to raise money for the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation.
Green is the daughter of Dodgers scout and national cross-checker John Green, who said, "The beneficiary for this game, the Christina-Taylor Green Memorial Foundation, will give back to the local community that gave so much to us. Christina-Taylor’s wishes and our mission statement are to help those less fortunate in the areas of education, the arts, sports and leadership programs to enrich our children’s lives."
The Dodgers have a split squad that Friday, also playing a game against the Kansas City Royals in Surprise, Arizona.
Individual tickets go on sale on February 15, and can be purchased online at tusconpadres.com, as the stadium is also the home of the Triple A affiliate of the San Diego Padres.

This is great that they're raising money for this charity
I don’t feel comfortable going off topic now. Sad day.
I saw the Greens
on a news show recently. I was amazed at how they are managing to cope in the face of such a tragedy.

Sometimes I’m not a fan of civilized society. I’d spent a few hours finding out why he did this, then snapped his neck off.

I sometimes feel like there should be a way to expedite matters like this
When there’s absolutely 100% foolproof evidence that he did it.
But then i remember the implications. Still, there should be a “just shoot the guy clause.”

Sorry, but that was too late
We’ll hang you on the first sentence.
It's gettin' so a businessman can't expect no return from a fixed fight. Now, if you can't trust a fix, what can you trust?
Not that I'm arguing one way or tother
But some feel that the sanctioned killing of someone regardless of what they’ve done isn’t right.

This was Gilberto Reyes – I think you may have him confused with someone else http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/reyesgi01.shtml since he did not hit one major league home run while Steve Yeager hit 102.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
In the minor leagues, Gil Reyes hit a few home runs and was known for his defense. You’re calling someone with 13 MLB at-bats Steve Yeager. I think he is just as likely to be as completely irrelevant as Reyes. If we’re lucky, he might be as good as Carlos Hernandez.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
That makes sense but that is not what I got out of discussion, it did seem you compared Yeager to Reyes.

If I went to this game I would openly cry.

correct me if I’m wrong but won’t he also cost them 28 Million in one lump sum?

The bonus due in March, mentioned by silverwidow above.
Follow @DavidYoungTBLA
- The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
So basically it comes down to:
Silverwidow saying they won’t pay 28 Million for an old HOF quarterback whose skills should be in question and Nolander saying, Yes they will.
I think I’m going on the SW side on this debate. Not shocking, though I give Nolander props for being very football competent.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Don’t know the details, but I suspect that’s $28M bonus plus a 2012 salary.

As a Texans fan, nolander is understandably overexcited by highly competent QB play, to the point of losing all sense of reason.

I saw
Allman Bros. and Dave Mason there in (I think) 1976. Cher was hanging around on the stage as it was when she and Greg Allman were an item.
It's gettin' so a businessman can't expect no return from a fixed fight. Now, if you can't trust a fix, what can you trust?
Reading a biography of the ’Bros, Cher came off as a very sympathetic person. Losing battle, trying to get Gregg of drugs.

1. That is really awesome; I had never heard of it.
2. I no longer want to hear people from my parent’s generation blaming hippies for making things weird.
3. The caption from picture 14:
The Activationist greeting, LIFE reported, was “a loud, whooping, open-armed collision. These Activationists, happy to see each other, are traveling salesmen for bronzed baby shoes.” Sure. Of course they are …They invented the chest bump!

Did you know
From 1906 to 1930, the foul lines extended “infinitely” away from home plate. During this time, a fly ball that carried over the outfield fence in fair territory but landed foul was ruled a foul ball.
It is estimated that Babe Ruth had 75 such “foul balls”.

Also learned today:
Dodger Stadium was built so that if they chose to, they could extend the top decks out around the pavilion, increasing capacity to 85,000 seats.
I, for one, am glad they never did this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Year_Babe_Ruth_Hit_104_Home_Runs
“The title refers to the author’s conclusion that in modern ballparks under modern rules, Ruth would have hit 104 home runs in 1921.”
Although, I’m assuming “under modern rules” doesn’t take into account that Ruth wasn’t facing some of the best pitchers of the day. You know, like, black people.

Relapse is part of recovery. Not everyone relapses but most people in recovery do unfortunately relapse. They say it can be the “jarring experience” needed for the addict/alcoholic to reassess their goals and strengthen their program. Unfortunately there is no cure for alcoholism, only a daily reprieve for the obssession to drink. That daily reprieve can be found by properly working the steps. You’ll often hear the saying “one day at a time”.
My question with Hamilton is whether he reported the relapse “after” the pictures went viral, or did he report it immediately after it happened?
His story is absolutely amazing, and the fact that he came out of the dark place that he was in and through overcoming his demons he ended up being one of the elite players in the game is one of the hardest things in the world a human being can do. It’s sad to hear that he relapsed but the fact he righted the ship right away is a very good sign that he’s in a good place. With the true alcoholic/addict…..to drink is to die. Forget fucking his career up, that’s inevitable if he went on a run. There are only three outcomes…..jails, institutions and death.
