One more thing before I say goodnight ...
I have just been informed that the Dodgers radio network picked up a new affiliate tonight in, of all places, Sikeston, Mo. Why would folks in Sikeston, Mo., have any interest in the Dodgers, you ask? Well, it happens to be the hometown of one Blake DeWitt, the Dodgers' rookie 3B who went 3 for 4 with an inside the park home run tonight, is now hitting .317 and is the Dodgers' feel-good story of the year after beginning spring training in minor-league camp. Sikeston already had a Blake DeWitt day earlier this year, and now it has a way of following its hero on a nightly basis.
