WHERE'S OTIS NIXON? ANDY VAN SLYKE, ANYONE?

Can we get some more centerfielders out here? Andruw "Gold (Glove) Club" Jones and Torii "The" Hunter just landed at LAX and the Hot Stove couldn't be any hotter. It's almost like the MLB is playing Oregon Trail, except it's called California Trail...and instead of being a banker-who-can't-hunt and living with the fear that the family member in your wagon that you named after your best friend in class could come down with typhoid and die at any minute, you're an outfielder that bats cleanup.And you know what batting cleanup means - no caulking the wagon and floating across that river. No sir-ee, we pay for that damn ferry to take us across each and every time (SIDENOTE: If anyone in your class ever tried to ford the river, they were held back a grade. True story - there's no tolerance in society for forders.)I thought this was about baseball, but it instead has become about a time before the mouse existed (the oft-referred to Pre-Mouse Era, or PME):And the photo below must have been doctored in Photoshop - no way he killed that bison/buffalo/ambiguous large mammal. No way you could kill anything but a squirrel out there in the wilderness. Out there, on the Oregon Trail.Sweet! Alright, let's hear it for more ex-Atlanta Braves suiting up with the Blue! Get ready for a Dodgers-Angels 2008 World Series!-Scotty
