Alyssa Milano Hearts the Dodgers

Super Mario Bros. 3 is released in Japan.

Paul's Boutique is being recorded at Mario G's in LA.

The nation falls in love with Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper when The Wonder Years debuts in March.

The year was 1988 and it was the Dodgers' world. The first victory came in dramatic fashion: a longball by Kirk Gibson in Game 1 for a 5-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics. The last was a charge to the championship led by Orel Hershiser.

Look What You're Missing Out On, Alyssa!

Remember the contest we reminded you of this summer, held by Alyssa Milano, where you could win a date with her by entering the "Touch" Ultimate Fan Sweepstakes on mlb.com?

Oh yes, we entered. And I won third prize... so, no hot date with Samantha. Her loss!

At first, I was incredibly pumped. I thought, "Wow! I bet I get some sweet *touch* apparel!"

Not quite, but third prize gets an autographed baseball. I wondered again, "Wow! Do I get to choose whose John Hancock I get?"

Again, no. It's Alyssa Milano's autograph and it's worth fifty bucks.

But hey! I rarely win anything I enter and of all the crazy promotional things I've signed up for, I think it's hilarious that this is the one I win.

Thanks Alyssa!

Just A Friendly Reminder

All of you eligible bachelors out there have until 11:59pm ET tonight to enter to win a date with babelicious Dodger fan and former child star, Alyssa Milano.

Good luck. We entered, too.

Oh My Goodness

Boys and girls, that giant void that was once in the heart of the sports blogosphere has been filled.

Alyssa Milano has a Los Angeles Dodgers blog. That's right. Go check it out for a while. I'll be here...

Alyssa goes into great detail of sitting on her father's lap and her undying love for all that is Dodger baseball. She writes about burping up tofu dogs and diet soda (Yum!) and her Russell Martin bias. You can also buy Alyssa's *touch* apparel on the site. (Sweet!)

You can now find her down in our Season Ticket Holders section 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for your Dodger fan enjoyment. And non-Dodger fan enjoyment.
