Former Los Angeles Dodgers Catcher’s Rolex Stolen

Former Los Angeles Dodgers Catcher has His Rolex Watch Stolen
Jimmy Campanis the former Los Angeles Dodger who won three World Series rings had his latest ring and a Rolex watch stolen from him. It all happened when he was warming up for a tournament at the Western Hills Golf Course. He placed the ring and his Rolex watch inside a specially made jewelry pouch in his golf bag. While warming up on the golf course’s driving range about ten yards away for just a few minutes someone got into his bag and took the items.
The watch is of particular sentimental value to Campanis who originally gave the watch to his father when they both were awarded the 1981 World Series. The day his father died he took the watch and started wearing it – and has worn it every day from that date. He planned on giving the watch to his son when he passed away. Campanis said he usually keeps the watch on his hand until he tees off, and this time is one of the few times he hasn’t and is upset it got taken.
There were about one hundred forty players at the tournament as well as workers. Police are monitoring local pawn shops and eBay.
