He held the Dodgers responsible because News Corp owned the Dodgers and the paper at the time.

This is his third year in an official position with the Dodgers. However, he had been making appearances at Camelback and Vero Beach for a day or two during spring training for many years prior. But that was unofficial and for free.

My experiences with him last year at Spring Training were positive. He seemed to be in good spirits and was happy to sign once he got his line established. I guess it's different though when you're out in public than at the baseball field.
