An interesting bit of trivia. I always thought that Chavez Ravine was named after civil rights leader Cesar Chavez. With LA's staunch Democratic ways, it makes sense. I was wrong, it was named after Julian Chavez, a frontiersman and rancher. He helped establish the City of Los Angeles by buying up 1150 acres of land which became his ranch. Downtown LA is not far away. The land was bequeathed to the city by his son, it has remained mostly green with three State parks a Police Academy and a baseball stadium.
I'm 1-1 in my pitching futures, Jacob Waguespack continues to get stronger but Shawn Reid Foley has been demoted to the minors. Vladdy continues to make pitchers sweat - too bad he wasn't in the lineup for the rubber match against the Seahawks. He'll serve revenge with mashed potatoes at Safeco Field.
