Movie note: Ernest Hemingway makes a cameo appearance in "The Old Man and the Sea."

Add this story to the list of things from the 1950s you’d rarely see today.

Don Drysdale and Carl Furillo visited The Times and The Mirror to
kick off the Dodgers’ tour of local businesses. What a smart, easy way
to meet some fans and keep the team in the newspaper during football
and basketball seasons.

"We want them to meet as many fans as possible at handshaking range
and we believe that the best way to do this will be to have them visit
plants where our Dodger fans work," General Manager Buzzie Bavasi said.

Hard to imagine seeing Manny Ramirez at the office.
