Last exhibition games at OLOCR, Opening Day at San Diego & Vacation
Last night I attended the only exhibition game against the Angels. What was up with that? We usually play them for 3 games! Tonight we face Milwaukee for two exhibition games then my beloved Dodgers fly to San Francisco for one exhibition game then to San Diego for Monday Opening Day there. What a crazy way to end exhibition and start the season!
Last night it was reunion day greeting and hugging the same people that I see day in and day out during the baseball season. Not everyone has made it back yet but tonight, tomorrow night and Opening Day I’ll get to see the rest. My brother said that he was observing me and that I looked like a fish in water when I get to the stadium. I LOVE IT THERE!
I was and still is fighting a cold. I dont want to get sick!!! I got games to see and the trip to San Diego to catch a couple of games there! I stocked up this morning on Dayquil and I am drinking lots of liquids.
I put on the board at work the vacation days I am taking. Someone drew a baseball next to it

I don’t care if it is exhibtion but is always good to beat the Angels! Bragging rights on the train with two Angel fans there! How sweeet.
I bought a a new Big 5 Scorebook, I got pencils, I got my radio, my binos, my glove, my tickets, my sunblock, my cold medicine in case I need it. I am ready for tonight!
Bring on the Brew Crew because our Big Blue Wrecking Crew is back!!

My name is Emma. I was born in Honduras and came to the LA when I was 13. No one in my family followed baseball so my first boyfriend introduced me to the game when I was 20 (long time ago) . He took me to my first game and I remember that he would listen to Vin Scully on the radio. I did not pay much attention as I would argue with him that Football was better than baseball. He would explain baseball to me and I would explain Football. I was a big Ram Fan then. He was born in Maine so his baseball team was the Red Sox but he was a fan of the Dodgers. After we went our separate ways, I started attending some games with a very nice older Jewish lady from Brooklyn that used to talk about Sandy Koufax. I started getting into the game more and more. The last games of 1980 had left me elated and devastated when we pushed for an extra playoff game with the Astros. that was an incredible last 3 games of the season where one game would have eliminated the Dodgers but they kept fighting back. We won in incredible fashion Friday, Saturday and Sunday. After it was official that we had won Sunday’s game, I got in line to buy a ticket for the extra playoff game on Monday. I remember I went to work that morning early and walked into my boss’s office to tell him I was only working half a day His response was “I am surprise you are even here..” Monday’s game was such a letdown with a lot of second guessing Lasorda. I sat in my car for quite a while all depressed. November of 1980 I decided to purchase a season ticket. I remember they took me to see a Loge seat (aisle 103 N 3) and that became my seat for 1981 and 1982. What a year 1981 was with the start of Fernandomania and culminating with the Dodgers beating the Yankees in the World Series!! I had the season ticket for one more year and afterwards I still attended games but not so much as I wanted to go back to school. I started attending less and less games until I would only watch some on TV or just playoffs. Things like free agency, strikes started turning me off. I have a gap of many years that I’ve been catching up. Back in 2000 this guy from work had 3 extra tickets to a game and he invited me along with two other women from work, then someone else invited me to another game and before long my addiction to baseball was back in full force |
