"Play ball!"


Ive lived in L.a. my whole life and havent been to a basketball game or baseball game. Ive been to a Kings Hockey game.... But today i got to go to my first baseball game. It was Dodgers vs. Cardinals. We sat Left Field. Perfect during batting practice. Not too big on Dodgers, sorry in advance. Im more for Angels :) Not too big on baseball either but this game was alright watching when you're there, in the stadium with all those fans. Now watching it on tv is a different story, well for me it is. I have yet to go to a Laker game. October? November? Most definitely this coming b-ball season. So, blue was the color everyone wore, some with red for the Cardinals. "Stupid little bird!" kids chanted behind us. It made me laugh. other chants like "test him!" for ramirez. Most of the crowd, enthusiastic, excited about, focused on game. I dont know much that goes on in baseball but i cheered, sang along and clapped for each score we l.a. made. "Take me out to the ball game..." We got to sing to this song and i held some cracker jacks and ate some while we sang" The crowd got the wave goin. I got it on video, just havent uploaded it. Pretty neat site. Unfortunately i didnt catch a ball with my bare hand and the Dodgers lost. I want to go to another game soon and seeing everyone with their family's was nice too. I pictured taking my own family to a game in the future for sure.

Had some pinks hot dogs to end the long day. I had a Baja Vegan dog accompanied Dr. Brown's Black Cherry Cream Soda. My stomach was feelin the churro, corona, coke, cracker jacks, nachos with salsa and cheese AND 8 chicken nuggets later that night. Waited an hour in line while being threatened by a Cav's fan saying "LA BETTER WATCH OUT. THE LAKERS BETTER BE READY" Listening to her was cringing. I laughed after she vented out and said..."righhhhhht, cav's better watch out *clears throat" . ....HEH, tourists make me lole. I dozed off once while waiting in the line. Was it worth the wait? haha...not sure.
