Day 58 - July 11, 2010 - Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things. ~Robert Frost

Dodger's Stadium in the Chavez Ravine of Los Angeles is a place i dearly love. I've been going to games here since I was 10 years old and enjoying the atmosphere, the games, the snacks, and occasionally a dramatic fan or two. It is a place I associate with family and friends. In my opinion, there's no better place for a ball game in the world. I know that is very subjective, but nowhere in the world would feel the same! It's been around since the 1950's and is the 3rd oldest stadium in the United States. That says something about the age of pro-sports... that, or "progress." Many other cities have fancier, newer stadiums, but somehow I think the charm of Dodger's stadium is found in its simplicity. It's one of the few stadiums that doesn't have a corporate logo slapped on the side of it. Need I say more?

My family and I took my boyfriend, Jonathan, to his first baseball game. I'm glad we got to share the experience. I can remember the first few times I went to baseball games. I hope it was as memorable for him. =)
