LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Dodgers owner called Michael Miller happened today as they will make a fight song of the Los Angeles Dodgers to the style of this show which is still on Solid Gold, the show still airs currently on KCOP in Los Angeles as for the Dodgers they air on KTTV in that city, The L.A.

LYRICS

(First few notes of the D-O-D-G-E-R-S (Oh Really? No, O'Malley) plays)

The Dodgers has magic,
You know you can catch it;
If you let the team take control...

The crowd starts to glisten,
The more that you root for,
And slowly it turns into blue...

DODGER BLUE!! Filling up my life with baseball.
DODGER BLUE!! Putting the game in the field.
There's a team that's unreeling,
To fit the way that I'm feeling;
My head keeps playing to baseball,
Playing to Blue...

I've come to discover,
That team is a lover;
Its heat keeps me warm when I'm cold...

The beat starts to bend me,
Maldonado sends me,
And he went to home plate and score...

DODGER BLUE!! Filling up my life with baseball.
DODGER BLUE!! Putting the game in the field.
There's a team that's unreeling,
To fit the way that I'm feeling;
My head keeps playing to baseball,
Playing to Blue...
There's a team that's unreeling,
To fit the way that I'm feeling;
My head keeps playing to baseball,
Playing to Blue...DODGER BLUE!!

1983 AMATEUR DRAFT PREVIEW

Notable Projected Picks for Oakland

Scott Hemond (C) - Taunton, MA
Scott Livingstone (3B) - Dallas, TX
Darren Reed (C) - Ojai, CA
Steve Wapnick (P) - Panorama City, CA

RESULTS

Round 1 - Satoru Komiyama (RP) - Chiba, Japan
Comments: Komiyama is a poor reliever with mediocre command of the strike zone. This kid's got a lot of potential but he's still got a lot to prove.

Round 2 - Steve Reed (RP) - Los Angeles, CA (Chatsworth HS - Chatsworth, CA)
Comments: Reed is a Poor Reliever with mediocre command of the strike zone. Reed has all the physical talents of a major league pitcher. With some work in the minors, he should find a spot on a major league pitching staff.

Round 3 - Drew Denson (1B) - Cincinnati, OH
Comments: Denson has the potential to be an above average player with above average power. Denson has the skills. With just a little more development time, he'll be a fine first baseman.

Round 4 - Scott Livingstone (3B) - Dallas, TX (Lake Highlands HS)
Comments: Livingstone has the potential to be an average player with average power. Livingstone has great athleticism but he's never shown much plate discipline.

Round 5 - Scott Hemond (C) - Taunton, MA
Comments: Hemond should develop into an average player with average speed and above average patienc at the plate. Hemond has great athleticism but he's never shown much plate discipline.

AROUND THE LEAGUE

September 1 - Williamsport (Eastern League) Bills catcher Dave Bresnahan introduces a new wrinkle to baseball-the hidden potato. With a Reading runner‚ Rick Rudblad‚ on 3B‚ Bresnahan returns from a time out with a shaved potato hidden in his mitt. On the next pitch he throws the potato wildly on a pickoff attempt. When the runner trots home‚ Bresnahan tags him out with the real ball. The umpire‚ unamused‚ rules the runner safe‚ gives the catcher an error‚ and fines him $50. Bresnahan replied‚ "I thought it'd be a do-over."

September 2 - The parent Phillies don't find Bresnahan's potato gag yesterday funny either‚ and release him. Bresnahan‚ hitting .149‚ explains‚ "We were 27 games out‚ what the hell?" Tomorrow night‚ their last game of the season‚ the Williamsport Bills will admit any fan for a $1 and a potato. On each potato‚ Bresnahan autographs‚ "this spuds for you."
