Go Dodgers!

Baseball is always a good time, and a live game is even better. What really pushes it over the edge is having free seats in the fancy pants section, and for the Dodgers, it is called the Dugout Club. Laura and Allan’s boss has season tickets in the ninth row between home plate and the dugout. He generously gave them the tickets for a game against the Colorado Rockies and they took Brian and I along. We started the day with lunch in the Dugout Club. Dodger dogs and buffet after buffet of salad and food and desserts. One whole corner of the room was a dessert buffet. The place was open to us the whole game until they shut the food off during the 7th inning. It was awesome, we ate our weight in standard baseball game fare. The game itself was great, we got to see their current star player, Puig, up to bat a few times. We sat a few rows back from famous retired Dodger Team Manager, and current part-owner, Tommy Lasorda. We got our courage up and asked him to sign a few balls for us. He was very nice and asked Brian if he plays ball. We told him we live in Italy and since he is part-Italian, he asked us, in Italiano, if we speak Italian and Brian said “si!” Then at the end of the game, Brian and Allan waited at the top of the stairs that go down into the locker room, and asked the ump for a game ball, which he tossed to Allan! Brian’s favorite thing about the game, besides the junk food, was that after the game, he got to run the bases.
