The sad state of affairs under the Frank McCourt ownership continues, as celebrity website TMZ is reporting that at least one Dodger employee had their $497.54 payroll check bounce. The report, replete with an image of the check in question, shows Frank McCourt’s signature on the line.

With McCourt filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and a judge allowing McCourt to use an initial debtor in possession financing amount of $60 million, the club said told the employees that new checks have been reissued and will not bounce. Of course, who knows whether they picked up any overdraft fees that may have hit the poor souls’ bank accounts.
