First Dodger Game

Made it to my first Dodger game yesterday.  I explained to a friend of mine afterwards, that it had a nice and homey 70's ballpark feel to it.  I actually felt like this is what it must have been like to go to a game there in the 70's with Garvey, Lopes (he coaches 1st base now), Russell, Cey, Baker, Smith, Yeager, and Sutton, Hooton, or Hough on the field.

All I kept thinking while I was there was "California baseball, California baseball, California baseball..."

It's sad to hear that the Houston Astrodome and its surroundings are now a basically deserted stadium and parking lot.  That place (though I never visited it), actually still had a lot of awe of around it growing up as a sports fan.  But I guess the end for it is now near.
