Dodgerpalooza - My Dodger Birthday Day One

May I just say that I have the best wife out there.  Mrs. Cora secured some tickets to the dugout club for my ... uh ... 21st, yeah that's right, my 21st birthday.  I have never been "down below" before so I was so excited.  I even fasted for two and a half days in order to enjoy the all you can eat food selections.  The food was pretty good, a lot better than the fare upstairs.  Don Newcombe and Ron Cey were down there too.  We had 3rd row tickets next to the visiting club's warm up circle.  I couldn't believe that there were people down there that looked like regulars saying hello to each other.  Amazing that they could afford the tickets, even if they were from a corporation.  That game itself moved WAY TOO FAST for someone wanting to be down in the dugout club FOREVER.  It ended on a Ellis walk off sacrifice fly.  We loitered in the dugout club after the game for a bit and watched the players walk by us.  Then headed home with dreams of Dodger Blue in my head.  Below are some pictures.  Enjoy!

I SHALL Pass!
