Dodgers notes: Voting center, holiday festival, Francisco Lindor

Dodger Stadium was open as a vote center for five days during the general election, which you might remember from Blake Harris documenting his experience voting in person a few weeks back.

Per the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder, Dodger Stadium was the third-most visited vote center in Los Angeles County, trailing only the Registrar headquarters in Norwalk, which was open for 30 days, and San Dimas City Hall, which was open for 11 days.

Roman Barinas, the Dodgers’ Latin America scouting supervisor, said of Rodriguez, “The physical tools stand out, but he’s also really smart, one of those guys that you can have a long, cerebral conversation about the game, things like what a pitcher was trying to do to get him out and how he can counter that.”
