(Part 2) Best products from r/Dodgers

Jane Leavy wrote a very good book on Sandy Koufax called Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy that is centered around his perfect game and the history of the pitcher with the Dodgers in the 1960s. If you like her writing, she also wrote a good book on Mickey Mantle.

I didn’t design or write the code for this, just followed the instructions for the Raspberry Pi project created by u/RushShirtKid and explained in this post on r/baseball. Direct link to the instructions here (but wouldn't hurt to at least glance through the r/baseball post for some good info). Would highly recommend if you want to tackle a small, straightforward project!

Edit: some additional info- it doesn't have to just show one game, you can have it cycle through all the games, or cycle through other games only during inning breaks, or customize it a bunch of other ways!

Edit 2:
You'll see in the instructions there are multiple options as far as parts, so it's up to you which direction you want to go. But if you're curious, these are all the parts I used:

Raspberry Pi 3 B+ w/Power Supply

5V Power Supply for the LED Matrix

64x32 RGB LED Matrix, 5mm pitch (see the project instructions for other size options)

Matrix Bonnet (connects LED matrix to the Pi)

You'll also need some kind of display (tv, monitor, etc) that you can connect to the Pi via HDMI for the setup. And a mouse/keyboard that you can connect to the Pi via usb.

Great film.

My first exposure to Jackie was as a kid in some obscure baseball history book I read with my dad. I later read In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson in school and was hooked. The lessons on acceptance, breaking racial barriers, and how great of a sport baseball is still stick with me.

1. Not gonna be able to get
   to Cali before next season.
   
   
   
2. Just ordered this: Not a player but Dodger
   
   
   
3. Based on our September win rate, we unfortunately will not reach 100 wins. It will take us 20 games to win 4 and we don't have that much time left.
   
   
   
4. I'm thinkin' L'il Sweet from the Dr Pepper commercials.

They aren't shitty. They are great for listening to hip hop and dance music but they are absurdly overpriced. You can get a great pair of studio quality headphones for $80.00

Here's my preference.

This book is pretty hand and the illustrations are neat: Baseball Field Guide: An In-Depth Illustrated Guide to the Complete Rules of Baseball

Lots of good recommendations so far, I'll throw in Bums: An Oral History of the Brooklyn Dodgers if you want a really thorough and well researched book about pre-1958 Dodgers. There are some amazing stories in that book.

Wore my Vin shirt ay work today. $12!!! Best shirt I own!

1. Some kind of cybercrime.
   
   
2. Blue, unless it's just for eating as a block, then Pepper Jack or Cheddar.
   
   
3. Cajun Sunshine, I bought a 6 pack after having it at a cajun-themed restaurant. Pretty sure it's like $1/bottle junk in the south but it's delicious.
   
   
4. Worrying about the games this weekend.
   
   
5. 100 years I guess? There's either some cool technological advancements coming, or the downfall of everything. Either way there'll be a show.

I don't call it an omelette but I'm really partial to scrambled eggs with sautéed onions and tomatoes, which I guess is technically an omelette.

Marie Sharp's Habanero Hot Sauce is tasty on pasta. La Vic's Orange Sauce (from San Jose) is the best thing ever on a burrito.

Highest mountain I've climbed is Mt Fuji, 12,390 ft.

I'm more of a Martha than a Snoop

I just bought the C Crane CC Solar Observer. It just arrived today, so I haven't used it, but I always hear great things about their radio.

>touch the grass where Puig walks

I would also like to do this.

Good question about glowsticks. Where DO they come from? Online...for next time! ;)

Cool pics, btw!

Game Of My Life, Dodgers by Mark Langill, the Dodgers Historian, is a great read. It's a collection of stories from former Dodgers.


Did I mention I have a signed copy? No? Ok, I do.

Celeste's Pineapple Mango Habanero... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XYF3QXB?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Edit: Mostly sweet hot sauce with a consistency of about Apple sauce. Not too spicy. If you can handle tapatio this will taste like BBQ sauce.

He wrote a book. Looks like the Ted talk is the tl;dr version, haha

buy this book. read it all. best dodger book ever

Dodgers From Coast to Coast is great too, got it as a present a few years ago.

I've used a few cases similar in style to this one for balls: https://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Acrylic-Baseball-Glove-Display/dp/B01I1RVE12

Keeps the dust off the glove itself, having the clear surround also gives it that "look how cool this is, but don't touch it" vibe.
