For my 25 list in NYC, Yankee Stadium was on my list. It seemed only right to include Dodgers Stadium on this list. And Joe Torre was nice enough to join me in both locations.
I'm not a big baseball person - football, basketball and hockey are preferable for me - so I took with me two baseball fans:
One of the greatest things that the Dodgers offer is the All You Can Eat Pavilion seating. For $35, you get seats in the outfield and unlimited food and drink. The drink was especially important, since it was 95 degrees and we were in direct sunlight for the whole game.
The life-saving mister ... it felt really good after sitting in the heat.
The options!
The famous Dodger dogs! (Can you tell I was almost more excited for the all-you-can-eat aspect than the game?)
Fortunately, the game turned out to be HUGELY exciting! There were SEVEN opportunities for grand slams. Seven.
Manny Rodriguez hit a 3-run homer, right to our section. Actually, pretty much every exciting that happened,
occurred right in front of us. We totally got our money's worth. Our seats were in right field, right behind
Jessica's favorite player Andre Ethier.
The game was a shut out all the way until the last out of the 9th inning, and then they scored two runs. But the Dodgers still won, and this win put them into first place in the division! Very exciting to be there for that.
If I ever go to a Dodgers game again, I'm totally sitting in this same section. It's ridiculous how great a deal it is. Especially if it's hot, because those 7 bottles of water and 2 cokes I drank would have cost me more than I paid for the ticket. Seriously.
Miles: 56.6
Cost: $44.10
Miles to date: 495.4
Cost to date: $172.66

Aw, I love baseball. Jealous. Stupid cold rainy New York.
We sat in that section when we went to the Dodgers game with work. Saved us a TON of money. Our service guys can pack away the hot dogs.
Al - I totally thought of you while we were out there ... and brought a ton of sunscreen (and reapplied continuously).
