Does life get any better than this?
It's sunny with a lazy breeze, the smell of hot dogs circles around me and from time to time, the cheering of thousands of fans swells from the stadium. I'm at the Dodger's game!
Both my heart and my stomach take a little flip. I have to get my hands on one of those Dodger Dogs!
Don't you love being inside the stadium? Excitement electrifies the air. Everyone acts very un-LA, smiling at each other. Even in the elevator, everyone's chatty & friendly cracking jokes.
One guy is wearing a sombrero with LA emblazoned on the top cone. When he looks up, it reveals Dodgers written inside of the brim. An infant is stuffed into a tiny cheerleader uniform, Chicago Cubs stitched across the front. I could sit and watch the fans all day.
As I score countless interviews - gotta love those fans! - I run into my coworker Steve, who has a baby in each arm. One has a Cubs cap, the other wears a Dodger's hat. Oh boy, I can't imagine the rivalry at his house!
Gotta run! The game's just ended & I'm doing a live shot for Extra Innings!
Ok I'm back, if a bit heartbroken. The Cubs won 4-2. I knew the Cubs were on a roll when they hit two back-to-back homers in the 2nd inning.
At least I got my hands on a Dodger Dog. It was scrumptious. Ray also brought tamales for the crew from some place near Sunset & Echo Park. They were the best.
Gotta run, heading off to tonight's story!
