Welcome Back, Rob Flippo!

Josh Rawitch says the Dodgers are expecting back bullpen catcher Rob Flippo. Who is Rob Flippo? Well, you can read his official Dodger biography here, but the reason he's beloved by this Dodger fan is because about ten years ago I was watching a Chan Ho Park bullpen session and Rob tossed me the ball afterward. I was too stunned to say thank you then, so I'm saying it now: Thank you, Rob Flippo!

And just think, you could have the whole scene repeat with Chan Ho and Rob again this year!

You mean he didn't flippo you off?

I have seen Flippo toss balls out of the bullpen before and after games. There was one afternoon game where he must have tossed somewhere between half a dozen to maybe a dozen balls. More recently, I was there on April 1st and I think he tossed maybe three our four before the game started
