Blog Kiosk: 7/5/2016 - Dodgers Links - De Jong, a Dodger Emirates Plane and Flying Like an Eagle

What a fun evening at Dodger Stadium. We got all of the pomp and circumstance you'd expect at a ballgame on Independence Day. Folks from the armed services were on hand and unveiled a large flag on the field while another sang the national anthem. Best yet, an American bald eagle, not the one shown with Dodger President Stan Kasten, soared above the stadium to the delight of the crowd. Then, once realizing freedom was at hand, the eagle took off for the great open spaces and flew away - to the consternation of his handler. Per an ESPN report:

The male eagle was supposed to fly from the top of the stadium down to its handler Monday as part of the pregame festivities for Independence Day.
