Dodger Night

I finally have something that I'm excited to post about. Usually, AJ and I live a very repetitive life. It's not necessarily a bad thing; it's nice to know what to expect from day to day. However, tonight, we were able to do something a little more unique and memorable.

The owners of the Dodgers hosted a night for those associated with the school that I teach at. It was a limited engagement that required an RSVP, and we are sure glad that we were two of the 1,500 that were able to attend. Basically we received the VIP treatment to Dodgers Stadium, participating in activities that only those in a much higher tax bracket get the pleasure of on a more regular basis. We could play catch in the outfield, pitch in the bullpens, pitch of the mounds, run the bases, and hit in the batting cages. We also were able to roam the dugouts, scroll through the clubhouse and eat in the Dodger dining room. It was amazing and an opportunity that we'll probably never get again.




Our usual Dodger game seats are are on the blue level just above home plate. The look much further away from where AJ's standing, but we still love them!

Below is AJ in the dugout heading into the clubhouse. Players only.... well not tonight

Below is AJ in the dugout calling the bullpen to send in the relief pitcher.

Here is AJ sitting in the seats that we will never be able to afford....those right behind home plate....baseline level. These seats are a little more friendly to one's tooshy.

Here I am with A.J. Ellis, a catcher who is in the Dodgers farm system. He debuted this last year in September, but will probably be playing AAA in Albuquerque this coming season. He was fantastic, and may become my favorite minor player (it's a close call between him and Dewitt)

The wall in the outfield was a little bit higher than what AJ expected.

I love this pic of AJ and Mr. McCourt. A big thanks to him and his wife for hosing us tonight! We had a blast!
