For My 8th Wedding Anniversary My Wife Bought Me...

...a hobby box of 2014 Bowman Chromes! She really loves me. Some great looking cards in this set. I didn't get too many Dodgers or A's but I did come up with some pretty big hits. As you may or may not know, this series comes with 2 auto's in every box. This box, in my opinion, was pretty exceptional. Check out the hits!

'89 'Bowman Is Back' Jose Fernandez

Jamie Westbrook Blue Refractor #/250, Freddie Freeman Refractor #/500, AJ Burnett Purple #/150

A Bunch of Buxton's

Gabriel Ynoa Blue Refractor #/150

My biggest hit..Kris Bryant auto'd card


Of course, my wife being the beautiful, wonderful woman that she is, included a bonus card that she knew that I have dreamed about my whole life. A Sandy Koufax autographed card. The man was the greatest pitcher of his time and no doubt one of the greatest pitchers to play the game. My father was living in LA at the time Sandy Koufax was in his prime and he used to tell me the stories of attending those games(more like sneaking in) and watching how masterful Koufax was. I've always wanted to own a piece of that history and my wife knows that. Thanks babe.

Congratulations, Clayton Kershaw On Your 1st Career No-Hitter!

All I can say is, we knew it was going to happen. We just didn't know when. Clayton Kershaw is arguably the most talented southpaw Dodger pitcher since Sandy Koufax and among the greatest in the game today. Not only is this guy worth every penny but he's extremely hard not to respect, not only for his athletic talent but his charitable works and boyish humility.

Thanks Kersh. We love ya.

The Los Angeles Dodgers Are The NL West Division Champions

It was an epic battle of a game in L.A. last night that concluded with Juan Uribe blasting a 2 run homer in the 8th and a Kenley Jansen close in the 9th. I couldn't be more proud to be a Dodger fan right now. These guys are working hard for this and deserve it. There's not much more I can say, other than, let's get that pennant!

Los Angeles Dodgers Make History in Colorado

The Los Angeles Dodgers turned in a sloppy win but had two milestones during their game at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies today.

Clayton Kershaw took the mound today and got the win for the Dodgers but came up with a more awesome stat. In the 3rd inning, Kershaw struck out Wilin Rosario to achieve 200 strikeouts this season. Not only is that an incredible feat but also that he's done it for the last 4 seasons. Sandy Koufax, Don Sutton and Don Drysdale are the only other Dodger pitchers that have gone at least 4 consecutive seasons with over 200 strikeouts per season.

Andre Ethier also made Dodger history today at Coors Field. Ethier is the first Dodger ever with seven or more seasons of 30 or more doubles. He is also the first Dodger with seven consecutive seasons or 30 or more doubles. Andre Ethier's 241 doubles are the most ever for any Dodger in a seven-year span. He also has a career 1,141 hits which puts him in 9th place in Dodger history, right behind Davey Lopes at 1,204.

Newly signed, former Padres pitcher, Edinson Volquez will make his Dodger debut on Wednesday in the final game with the Rockies.
