Stadium 7: Dodger stadium and the Marlins are winning??

Ladies and gentlemen, the Marlins are HOT! Winners of 5 of the last 6 and two of them in walk-off fashion. Martin Prado has become a great presence with two walk-off at-bats and having 5 hits on Friday!

His at-bat on Sunday with the bases loaded was of epic proportions. A 12 pitch at-bat and five straight foul balls once the count reached 3-2. Quite amazing.

Lets hope they keep the good times rolling into this week. We deserve a week or two of good, exciting fun baseball!

Stadium 7: Dodger Stadium


Dodger stadium located close to downtown Los Angeles is the third oldest stadium in baseball as it was opened in 1962. Surprisingly, I expected a stadium in a part of town without scenic views and lo and behold look at the hills.

Dodger stadium has an open historic feel in a city that really cares for its Dodgers. The team right now is trying to be the Yankees of the 90s spending a lot of money which is qualifying them for the postseason which does make their fans excited.

The historic Dodger Dog is the staple of the ballpark, and even though I don't eat them.... You have to eat them at the ballpark! Tradition is tradition. I also happened to be there the day I witnessed my first triple play!

Not only was it a triple play... It was a triple play with two challenges on the play! Yes that was also a first in MLB History.... Kind of makes for a cool experience in my eyes. 

The Dodger stadium experience was definitely a fun one and worth the trip to Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles to see a game in the 3rd oldest stadium in MLB

Next up: Short bus ride south close to the border.
