DANIELLE Goldey and Meredith Kott, who are lesbian lovers, were ejected from a game at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 8 for canoodling. But Dodger President Bob Graziano was so upset by his security’s officers’ behavior – or was it fearful of a lawsuit? – he took it upon himself to drive to the couple’s West Hollywood home to personally apologize.

The women also were invited to a game and given seats behind home plate, and the Dodgers pledged 5,000 tickets to gay and lesbian organizations.

Apology was accepted, and no lawsuit is expected. …

No reliever is more entertaining to watch on television than Mike Fetters of the Dodgers. Tight shots of Fetters’ face reveal him taking a couple of deep breaths, locking in on the ground, then jerking his head toward the mound with his lips jutting out and his eyes on fire. It’s a most menacing expression. Yet, unlike so many relievers, Fetters isn’t trying to be macho. He’s regulating his breathing.

“I do that routine for two reasons,” Fetters said. “One, it helps me get focused. Two, I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma in 1989 or 1990. I hyperventilated on the mound so badly I had to lie down in the clubhouse between innings. When you hyperventilate on the mound, you can’t concentrate.”

As for his intimidating scowl?

“This is the big leagues,” Fetters said. “You can’t intimidate big-league hitters. That’s not why I do it.”

You can make big league hitters laugh, however.

“A couple hitters asked me to please stop doing it because it makes them laugh,” Fetters said. “Hey, if it makes them laugh, all the better. If they’re laughing, they won’t be able to hit.”
