night at the ballpark

I just got back from the Dodgers game. Believe it or not, in my almost two years in LA this is only the second game I've made it to. That's pretty bad. It's not for lack of desire, usually it's been lack of money and time. A night at the ballpark is still just such a fun experience. You get everything from little kids fighting over the aisle seat (even though the other seat was no different in view or quality) all the way up to the older lady sitting behind us who commented that she'd been coming to games since Sandy Koufax was pitching. She had a little radio with her, listening to the broadcast of Vin Scully -- in my opinion, and many others, the best in baseball. The Dodgers won, 5-2. Kevin Brown pitched very well, Shawn Green even hit the ball, and Eric Gagne is the coolest player in major league baseball.
