Short-Sighted Shirt

Dodger fan and KPCC Master Control Specialist Jeff Krinock writes: "I've always been apprehensive about putting a name and number on the back of my Dodger jersey because I know the day after I pick someone, they'll be traded." This fellow, photographed Saturday, obviously liked Dodger catcher Paul LoDuca, #16, enough to ignore Jeff's wisdom. The Dodgers traded LoDuca and gave #16 to Andre Ethier when they brought him up last year. Given the current state of baseball, the duct tape ought to last just long enough.


Coming Up
