Last-place Dodgers turn to the past for help

The Dodgers might be the biggest story in baseball right now for all the wrong reasons. Despite the team's highest payroll ever they were swept by the Giants over the weekend, they keep adding more injured players to the shelf, and today the Dodgers sit in last place with a bunch of minor leaguers and utility players in their lineup "Right now, they're a bad baseball team, and showing no signs they have the talent to dig out of this," writes ESPN.com columnist David Schoenfield.

So tonight, they will bring out their original Los Angeles good luck charm of sorts. Rosalind Wyman will throw out the first pitch before the game with the Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium. Roz Wyman was the youngest member of the Los Angeles City Council in 1957 when she joined with Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley and county Supervisor Kenneth Hahn to bring the team to LA. She supported the Chavez Ravine deal and was defeated for reelection by Ed Edelman in 1965. Wyman went on to become one of the city's most influential Democratic Party activists.

The City Council declared today Roz Wyman Day in Los Angeles and there will be a video presentation at the stadium.
