America’s Pastime, LA Style
Last night David and I met up with Darion and we all made our way out to Dodger Stadium for the LA game vs. the San Diego Padres. I got to attend my first Dodgers game a couple of years ago when Mike graciously scored tix for a bunch of us (some of you may recall we had a great time) so it was time to go back for another game. Neither Darion nor David had seen a Dodgers game so … away we went. It turns out that Randy Jackson was on hand to throw out the first pitch and actor Christian Slater (who I ran into at the Star Trek premiere on Thursday night) was in the hiz for the game as well:
We had an absolute blast. I love going to Dodgers games … while my heart belongs to the Detroit Tigers, I’ve adopted the Dodgers as my second team to root for. Here are a few of the pics that we snapped last night:
The junk food was awesome and the game turned out to be very exciting. We got an extra inning and the Dodgers ended up pulling out the win in very exciting fashion at the last minute. I had never seen Darion and David so excited in my life. Twas really very fun. Sarah was talking about all of going to a Detroit Tigers home game when we are there in few weeks so that might be our next game.
Tonight, David and I are meeting up with Steph and Alek (who we haven’t seen in AGES) for dinner and a movie. I miss those guys so much … it’ll be great to see them again :)

Tigers is where it’s at man! Nothing like a game a Coamerica Park….although old TIger Stadium was more nostalgic…from what I can remember as a little boy. Now I’m stuck in Orlando, without a team to cheer for.

I’m a Tigers fan since birth. Lived in the area. Moved & have still rooted for them. I’m planning the long trip back to Detroit in June or July to see a game. Can’t go a summer without seeing the Tigers at home!
