@9Trapper Welp, I may never trust Getty again, haha.

Can anyone name this #RandomFormerDodger?

[Dodgers History @Dodgers_History]

@9Trapper Definitely not Thurston. The picture is from March of 98. Dodgers drafted Thurston in 99. Getty Images says Cromer.

Hint: Played in the last 25 years for non-playoff teams for the Dodgers.

Many have guessed Gabe Kapler and that would be wrong.

[Dodgers History @Dodgers_History]

Still no right answer.

@CNote_100RR Ha! It does look like that but this guy actually played.

Since I missed all the #girldad tweets recently, I thought I would share this from the first time my youngest daughter decided to swing a bat not too long ago. She is a natural and I love being a girl dad.

Happy Birthday, Jackie Robinson. Here are some of my favorite photos of him in action. #Dodgers

[Todd Radom @ToddRadom]

Remembering icon/athlete/hero Jackie Robinson, born OTD in 1919. My grandfather did this illustration of him sometime in the early 50s, most likely for Reader's Digest.

@billplunkettocr Did he do this to Plaschke too? Or just you?
