Take Me Out To The Ball Game...



Last night we went to a Dodgers game with my mom, Dave, Aaron & Stacey (Dave's sister) and their two boys Dahl and Ty. Aaron and Stacey just moved here because Aaron will be going to Dental School at USC!!! Their oldest boy Dahl loves the Dodgers because of the movie "The Sandlot". We told them that when they got here, we would take them to their first Dodger game. It was a perfect night and the weather was great. When we go to Dodger's stadium, we always sit in "Top Deck". We sit there for two reasons...the tickets are only $9 and the view is amazing!! My mom has been a Dodger fan since she was a kid. She hadn't been to a game for a LONG time, so she was really excited to go! I got some peanuts and she got her cracker jacks!!!









The game started out great in the first inning, we scored two runs. Not much happened until the 9th inning. The Brewers had gone ahead 3-2. We had two people on base and the next hitter was able to get on base to load the bases. Here is a clip of it. The stadium and Dahl were going wild!! After this, Manny Ramirez got up and hit a sacrifice fly to score our tying run! (Sorry the video is blurry. I was trying to zoom in and then it got stuck, so I couldn't zoom out!)







We ended up losing in the tenth inning, 4-3, but it was still a really exciting game. After the game there was a firework show. They let everyone go and sit in the outfield to watch the fireworks. We decided to stay up top because there were SOOO many people. Ty and Dahl loved the show...but poor little Ty only made it half way through. We all had a great night. Go Dodgers!!!
