Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.” The Sandlot (1993)   *  *  *  *  Vin Scully passed away Tuesday evening, leaving a collective hole in the hearts of Dodgers fans, the city of Los Angeles, and the sport of baseball alike.

OK, I admit it, that was a weak play on words (or name) for an article about recently called-up Dodgers outfielder James Outman, but the simple truth is that it fits the 25-year-old Redwood City, CA native and Dodgers seventh-round draft pick in 2018 out of California State University Sacramento to a T.

Anyone else distracted over the last week by the Juan Soto-to-the-Dodgers fantasies? The rest of MLB must be hoping that Dodgers General Manager Brandon Gomes, and his boss Andrew Friedman, are preoccupied with Soto’s availability rather than focusing their attentions on 2022 roster priorities. No doubt the Dodgers trade plans were put on momentary hiatus […]
