Dodger fans, the time has finally come, Frank McCourt has announced that the Los Angeles Dodgers are for sale! Instead of celebrating the MVP and Cy Young performances of Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw during the 2011 season, Dodger fans sulked because Frank McCourt was literally driving the team into the ground.

On Monday morning, Tony La Russa decided to retire from the game of baseball. La Russa consistently got his team into the playoffs and won the World Series in 1989, 2006, and 2011.
