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.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won the World Series 7 Times out of 19 appearances as of 2020

2020, 1988, 1981, 1965, 1963, 1959, 1955

The Artful Dodger (in Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens) is 10 yrs old.

From the 56 years span between 1950-2006 there are 119 different New York Yankees yearbooks. There are 85 different just in the 27 year period from 1956-1982, and there are three or more different for virtually every year in that 27 year stretch including five different from one year. Different publication include Jay publishing Co., official Yankees first editions, 2nd editions, 3rd editions, and revised editions. A 1963 New York Yankees yearbook is worth between $60.00 - $90.00. The second, and third editions (revised printed on the cover) are worth slightly more topping out at about $105. The third edition does not indicate that it is the third edition. The way to know is by checking the roster page. Dated Sept. 3 and added names like Jake Gibbs, and Tom Metcalf. First editions in the case of yearbooks normally sell for less because they are sold throughout most of the year, and more are available. The added editions are printed at the end of the season, and are more rare. I have included a link to a New York Yankees check list, and price guide. Keep in mind that condition is everything in putting a value on an item. With publications minor flaws could degrade the value a lot.

The Infielders for the Los Angeles Dodgers are Ronnie Belliard, Casey Blake, Juan Castro, Rafael Furcal, Orlando Hudson, James Loney, Mark Loretta and the Outfielders are Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, Juan Pierre and Manny Ramirez and a technical Infielder for the Dodgers is Jim Thome.

Well, actually the dodgers were originally from Brooklyn, New York and were called the trolley dodgers because back then in Brooklyn when u walked in the streets you had to DODGE the trolley cars. then they were called the grooms because some of there players were getting married that year. then they were finally called the Brooklyn dodgers until they moved to LA in 1955 (my town GO DODGERS!!!) and have been since then called the LOS ANGELES DODGERS!!!

[Actually, the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to LA before the beginning of the 1958 season]

The Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958 and played at the Memorial Coliseum.

This ball would document the first year the ex-Brooklyn Dodgers would set up shop in Los Angeles. According to the collector's guide "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth $350, but this value can be greater or lower depending on players present - in particular the inclusion of Hall of Famers Walt Alston, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, among others - as well as the all-important overall condition of the ball and Autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (is it an "Official National League" ball?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed for players by ballboys, attendants, etc), and number of signatures present. Stars' signatures were often signed by clubhouse attendants, so the authenticity of their autographs are a big factor in value. These factors, plus the authenticity of the all the significant signatures are the main variables in determining value.

Willie Davis played in 22 games at center field for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1960, starting in 21 of them. He played for a total of 579 outs, equivalent to 21.44 9-inning games.

He made 52 putouts, had one assist, and committed one error, equivalent to .047 errors per 9-inning game. He had no double plays.

It's just Dodger Stadium (as of 2009 the naming rights to the stadium have never been sold, although there is talk of that happening sometime in the near future). It's one of only 7 current MLB parks that are 100% privately owned by the teams that play in them (and one of an even smaller list that was not originally financed with public funds).

well their manager is joe torre there are many coaches (hiting coach, pitching coach)

I believe a batting average of 99.94 would be impossible as a batting average is determined by dividing the number of hits by the number of at bats. A hit in every at bat would be a batting average of 1.000. Any time at bat that would not result in a hit would be an average of less than that and reported as .xxx, thus it would not be possible to have an average of anything other than 1.000 or something in the .xxx area.

I'm a Reds fan so I know the Dodgers and I hated them. It was Billy Grabarkewitz. Maury Wills as well as Steve Garvey played 3rd that year as well. But it was Billy that went to the all star game. Those other two guys had great careers while Billy was out of baseball by early 1975.

It is about 31 miles and is about a 40 minute drive.

Ebbetts Field and the Polo Grounds were aging ballparks. The combination of the neighborhood going bad, no parking, an old ballpark and the promise of more money and fans in California caused both the Giants and Dodgers to move at the same time to the west coast.
