Juan Pierre takes the Clippers
Today, for the first time since 2004, the names of Dodger players graced the back of the team's jersey. Randy Wolf and Juan Pierre showed off their new gear at a Dodger Stadium press conference this afternoon, and I headed up there with my brother (behind the camera) to check it out.
Readers of this blog already know about Pierre's OBP and Wolf's decision to take less dough to play here, so I decided to ask the newest Dodgers harder-hitting questions - ones that had nothing to do with baseball.
Why to watch the video again: It's not quite TMZ material, but there's exclusive LAO footage there of Pierre taking a look at his new home field for the first time.
