The odds are long, but you never know

If you are 18 or older, not enrolled in high school or college and not affiliated witha any other baseball organization, including independent leagues, and if the idea of playing in the low minors and taking a lot of long bus rides is something you find appealing, you might want to consider the Dodgers’ annual open tryout. It is scheduled for Friday at Camelback Ranch, with registration at 8 a.m. and the workout at 9. If you’re still chasing the dream and you’re planning on being in the Phoenix area that day, come on out. The odds are stacked against you or anyone else actually getting signed out of the camp, but you have nothing to lose.
