Los Angeles police stepping up security around Dodgers players' homes during World Series, report says


The Los Angeles Dodgers hope to be safe at home while in Boston for Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday night -- and not just for calls on the field.

 The LA Police Department reportedly pitched a plan to protect the homes of several Los Angeles Dodgers players and staffers during the World Series, the project coming a year after Dodgers star Yasiel Puig had his home burglarized during last year's Fall Classic.

 LAPD officials have reached out to Major League Baseball security, players’ agents, assistants and other personnel to help protect the homes, law enforcement sources told TMZ.

 Police were reportedly working with players to make sure their home security systems were up to par to prevent break-ins and burglaries. Some additional security officers were asked to watch some of the houses, TMZ reported.

 Puig has been the target of a few break-ins already. Aside from a break-in during Game 7 of the 2017 World Series, which was being played at Dodger Stadium, Puig’s home was nearly broken into for the fifth time in September when a person jumped the fence surrounding the house and went toward the residence, TMZ reported. A person inside the home told the intruder they were going to call the police and the intruder fled.

 Burglars also hit the home of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods while he was playing a game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum earlier this year. Though arrests were made, police remain worried unidentified suspects or copycats could strike again.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
