That picture is mesemerizing, no? It's from a Tommy Lasorda tweet, and he offers this as well:

Twitpic of the Day: I met this guy at a disabled vets event. He lost his eye and replaced it with a Dodger eye!

The mustache, though, is 100 percent real -- as is that fan's loyalty. Thanks to colleague Paul W. for the heads up.
