A's pitcher gets unique tattoo of Rollie Fingers
Yes, you are seeing that correctly. That is Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers in all of his mustachioed glory, riding a dolphin in front of a rainbow, engraved in ink on Oakland A’s pitcher Dallas Braden’s left upper arm.
Okay, okay, I have serious doubts this is real. For one, its gleam in light reminds me of those temporary tattoos kids can get at Chuck E. Cheese...

Dallas Braden Got a Tattoo of Rollie Fingers Riding a Dolphin over a Rainbow (Picture)
Oakland A’s pitcher Dallas Braden really got a tattoo on his arm of Rollie Fingers riding a dolphin jumping over a rainbow. The photo was shared on the A’s Facebook page, and they say Braden got the tattoo after doing a commercial shoot with Rollie.

Dallas Braden Has a (Fake) Tattoo of Rollie Fingers Riding a Dolphin Under a Rainbow
Of course he does…
I don’t have any tattoos and even I can tell that’s fake. First of all, it’s too damn shiny, and on top of that, it looks like it was done in magic marker. Plus, if it were real, and based on what little I know of A’s pitcher Dallas Braden, Rollie Fingers would be naked, and the tattoo would be 10 times as large and on Braden’...

Dallas Braden Tattoo Features Rollie Fingers Riding Dolphin, But Is It Real? (Photo)
Tattoos last a lifetime, but the permanence hasn't kept ink from going through its share of fads. In the 1990s it seemed like everybody got thorns or barbed wire inked on their upper arms. In the early 2000s, the tat du jour was a tribal design -- if you were a former heavyweight champ, maybe you even put one on your face. Fortunately, Dallas Braden isn't one to follow the...

Dallas Braden’s Season is Over
Dallas Braden had successful surgery on his shoulder but it looks like it will cost him the season. So the A’s lose their first ball player of the year. For some reason I feel OK with it and not OK with it.
When I say I feel OK with it let me say that I never am OK with a player being injured. I wish the best to Braden and hope he returns quickly and better than ever. What I am...

Dallas Braden to go Under the Knife
Worried about Dallas Braden ‘shouldering’ the pitching load? So is he. Especially because he needs to have surgery on his left shoulder to repair a torn capsule.
This is not good news, folks. In light of Braden’s rehab, it was looking good that Dallas Braden, who is 1-1 this season in three starts with a 3.00 ERA, would come back to strengthen the A’s rotation even further...
