A 1963 Los Angeles Dodgers Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Alston, W. Davis, Kofax, Drysdale, Howard, Wills, T. Davis, and Gilliam is worth about $500.-$650. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.

In 2012, Sue Falsone of the Los Angeles Dodgers became the first woman head athletic trainer in professional sports.
Walter o'malley the owner of the dodgers wanted a new stadium and Brooklyn did not want to build him and his team one since the attendence was decreasing slowly after the 55 team won it all O'Malley wanted to move his team to baseball hungry Los Angelas. of course if they would have stayed in Brooklyn and in the fantastic confines of Ebbets Feild they would have made millions of more dollars. Look how well the Red Sox are doing.

Adrian Gonzalez is number 23 on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
At the very top of the stadium with bad view of the game. Just joking NOT!
This is all I picked up from the Home Opener last night while I was there that I can remember. 2012 Season:
Chone Figgins: Rihanna ft. Jay-Z - Talk That Talk
Dustin Ackley: Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man
Ichiro: LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem
Justin Smoak: Eric Church - Homeboy
Kyle Seager: Jason Aldean - Crazy Town
Brandon League enters to Slipknot - Duality
World series: Brooklyn- 1
Los Angeles- 5
NL Pennants: Brooklyn- 12
Los Angeles- 9
Division titles: Los Angeles- 11
Wild Card: Los Angeles- 2
As of the 2008 season, that is 22 scored against the Toronto Blue Jays in 1992. The Brewers also set their team record for base hits in that game with 31 and most stolen bases in a game with 8. The Brewers won the game 22-2.
Waivers. The deadline for regular trades is July 31, after that teams can still trade for another month via the waiver wire. Teams place their players on "waivers" which enables other teams to claim those players. If a player is claimed, the waiving team has 3 days to do choose 1 of the 3 following options: arrange a trade with the claiming team, allow the claiming team to simply take the player and assume his entire remaining contract and salary, or pull him off of waivers and keep him. If no team claims the player within a certain period of time then he is considered to have cleared waivers, and his team can either move him to the minors or pull him off of waivers.
Waivers differs from the regular trade period in that you can no longer approach specific teams and suggest a trade; you can only deal with whichever team claims the player, and teams are given preference according to their record with the worst record getting priority. This rule allows teams in contention to effectively block trades to other teams in their division.
In this instance, LA was in 1st place when they claimed AGon, so SF - being a contender for the Western title - could have opted to claim AGon after learning he was claimed by LA, seeing as SF had the worse record. The downside here is the risk of potentially getting stuck with a player they do not want, need, or can't afford. Had SF claimed AGon in attempt to block him from going to LA, Boston could have just let him go, in which case, SF is now obligated to take the player they didn't actually intend to keep.
The bottom line is that the regular trade period gives you the ability to choose a team with players you want and then negotiate a trade. Trading via waivers forces you to deal with whichever team claims your player, and that team might not have players that adequately address your needs.
