Behind Enemy Lines

My father, a lifelong Dodger fan, recently purchased a Dodger getaway package and accompanied the team to San Francisco over the past weekend. The package included tickets to all three games, a two night stay at the team hotel, field access during batting practice, stadium tours, meet and greets and the like. He promised he'd write some words (calling him out here) detailing his trip, but I know he's at the golf course right now, and has most likely put that project on the back burner. Until then, a small sampling of pictures...











He did manage to fire off a few quick emails and texts, so for now that will have to suffice.

My trip to the Dodgers/Giants series in San Francisco was a success. The "meet and greet" included Ethier, Furcal, Billingsley, Loney, and Kemp...Others brought balls, caps, and cards and got them autographed...I'm not into the autographs, I just took pictures. I have always enjoyed watching people, so I really had fun doing that.

I watched these guys just get surrounded by seekers. If you don't sign for everyone, you're a jerk. Ethier and Loney and Kemp signed everything they were asked. Billingsley signed three balls and left, and Furcal just a few. I saw Loney and Kemp outside the stadium and they stayed there about 10 minutes signing also. Luckily it was early, so they covered everyone. The only thing that Torre signed was his book. Manny didn't even look at anyone.
