Dodgers trivia- Training wheels edition
It's the first trivia question of the year, so I figured I'd go with something fairly reasonable. It's still early, and I don't want anyone pulling a brain hammy on the first go round. So brush off your Dodgers history banks and see what you find. As always, no cheating. And, of course, a steaming hot bowl of pride to the first to answer the question correctly. So without further delay:
QUESTION: At 2014, Pee Wee Reese has played more games at shortstop than any other Dodger in Franchise history. But who is the leader since the team moved to L.A.? While your at it, name the Los Angeles career game leaders by position (1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, C, P).

All time LA Dodger shortstop, games played--Bill Russell (he never played for another team, either). Julio Lugo was a close 2nd.
Outfield, has to be Willie Davis, with Lugo again a close 2nd.
And, from what we've witnessed, Juan Pierre has yet to be an outfielder.

Someone needs to punch Billingsley in the face each time before he enters a game. He pitches much better when he's angry.

My guess for the most games are as follows
Garvey 1B
lopes 2b
russell ss
cey 3b
scoscia (sp) or yeager c
davis cf
Hershiscer p
no idea lf and rt field
Great comback tonight...we really needed it... i see Grady use Valdez tonight but kept JP in the lineup...valdez 1-3, 1 rbi 1 lob....Jp 1-4 1 rbi 3 lob
Eithier really made 2 fantastic catches and Martin ( i really love this guy...vote often) came through in the clutch again plus the heads up scoring on Valdez's bunt.
Beat the pods...Go Blue

Makoto-
How cool would it be if they really did that? It would revolutionize sports. Who delivers the blow?

BK,
Right now, I say Betemit should get the honors. With any luck, he might hurt his hand delivering the blow and land himself on the DL. Then again, considering his .133 BA, he might not land the blow, or hit the bullpen coach Dan Warthen in the face instead.
Operation 'Provoke Billingsley' should also extend to in-game situations, like when he's in a two on, no out jam and is in danger of walking the bases full. How funny would it be to see Grady Little stroll up to the mound and slap his pitcher in the mouth?
In all seriousness, Billingsley might benefit from a trip back to the starting rotation in AAA. Like Kuo, it seems like Billz is not adjusting well to the bullpen.
