What the heck is this?
Apparently there are plans to build something called an Aerial Rapid Transit or "ART" system that will allow fans to travel from Union Station in Downtown LA to Dodger Stadium inside a gondola in just minutes.
Wha....!? No Frick'n Way!
Go here to find out more. BTW, this is all still in the planning stages. The system isn't expected to be operational until 2022.

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1949 the Dodgers turn the 19th triple play of its history. Gene Hermanski, Jackie Robinson and Gil Hodges perform the act in the third inning against the Boston Braves with Alvin Dark at the plate. In 2001 Dodgers GM Kevin Malone resigns after 2 1/2 years on the job. In 2008 Brad Penny throws a 98-MPH fastball that is missed by catcher Russell Martin and knocks out umpire Kerwin Danley. He is stretchered off the field. Also on this day Vin Scully received an honorary Doctor of Law degree from Pepperdine University. You can watch his commencement speech at Pepperdine here.

- Via Outsports; "Los Angeles Dodgers partner with Outsports Pride: The team will purchase every Outsports Pride registrant a Dodgers-Mets ticket for June 23."
“The Los Angeles Dodgers are excited to partner with Outsports Pride for what promises to be a fun and informative weekend in New York,” said Dodgers Senior Vice President Erik Braverman. “The Dodgers, with a long and proud history of diversity and inclusion, are happy to continue to lead the way when it comes to creating opportunities and experiences for all who have an interest in baseball or sports in general.”
- Via Mike Oz at Yahoo Sports; "Clayton Kershaw on reaching 300 wins: 'I don't see that happening'"
“I don’t think I’m gonna make that. I don’t see that happening. That’s a really hard thing,” Kershaw told Yahoo Sports’ Tim Brown in their sitdown. “Not only have I gotten to pitch for 10 years, but I’ve been on a lot of teams that win a lot of games, which is obviously is a huge part of it. This team has been in the playoffs however many years in a row now. We won a lot of games, so even to be fortunate as far as that goes, to be on great teams that might get you a few more wins if you weren’t on a great team — and still not to be halfway yet, I think that puts it in perspective. It would be cool, but I’m not banking on that by any means.”
