Probably the same reason why they have made such a big deal of doing Sportscenter from LA. Instead of being a whore for all things east coast, they decided they wanted to be bi-coastal.

Manny just hit a HR. They did a split screen on tv for his at bat.
Give me a freakin break! It's not like he just came back from an injury.

What's not to get? A high profile player with a highly publicized suspension coming back...what about this does not say "news story". Just like most news stories, the media will beat it to death until another news story comes along (i.e. Steve McNair R.I.P.) and then life will go on as usual. They did the same thing with Arod, Farve, Michael Jackson and will continue to do it for people you either like or don't like. Most of you people have been around long enough to know this is nothing new. Personally, I'm a Dodger fan and I'm sick of it too but it is what it is and just ride it out
...and go Dodgers!!

I was at Dodger Stadium that last Wednesday night when the Dodgers were playing the Nationals.....in the hopes of catching (but most likely attempting to buy from the fan that did catch) this exact homerun ball.
It's his career #534, and ties him with one of my all-time favorite players, Jimmie Foxx.
I know this is a leap.........but if anyone ever comes into contact with the person who ended up with that ball, please put him in contact with me. I want that ball, and will pay handsomely for it.
$100 finders fee if that happens.....but I hope the fan who caught it gets some kind of proof.....maybe is seen on TV via video, or hopefully the MLB authenticator at the game places a sticker on it.
Knowing the Dodger organization, maybe they escorted the guy back to a private office and are offering him something for the ball.....but I'm not sure, because it didn't take place at Dodger Stadium.
