As the First Day Nears

Sunday proved to be a cold and blustery day in LA which is not the usual case. My plan for the day was to go to the Dodger Open House to return my preferred parking passes for Lot F
so I could get Lot K which is a better lot for me. It’s easier and quicker to get out. Hopefully I can get my new parking passes before the first exhibition game on April 3.
I thought I would check out the position of my new seat which is a section closer to home plate. It was starting to get cold and windy. I still was determined.

The seat is about 10 feet closer to home plate which makes a difference. The above is a view of the field from my seat. It is breathtaking.

Here is a view of home plate minus home plate.
It was strange being the only one in the seats. The nice thing is that they are replacing the weather beaten seats. Our seats are padded so the new ones should be nice.
I have a great feeling about our Dodgers. We have a winning record in ST which I know doesn’t count. Skinny Swag looks fantastic. He’s worked on
bunting and hitting the base hits. Andre Ethier is hot. I’m a little worried about Ted Lilly and his stiff neck, an injury that plagued him last season. Hopefully his arm doesn’t get cold. Clayton will have another award winning season.
Apparently Jamey Wright is being added to the 40 man roster. He has looked good.
The Dodgers will have a new owner in the next couple of weeks. I think
It may be the group with the richest guy in LA which means maybe we eventually can get another hot bat. Hopefully.

I’ll be excited to see my friends again. I can’t wait to see Matty. It should be an exciting season.
I saw some of the nice giveaways they are having. Of course they will have the fleece blankets and lunch bags. They also have a nice replica of Kershaw’s award and mini bobble heads with two legends on a stand. There are very cool UCLA and USC speakers with a huge sound which attaches nicely to an iPhone or android. Someone told me the USC speaker sounded even better than the UCLA speaker. I think he was a USC grad!!
The next few weeks will be exciting. Please let me know what you are interested in hearing about or what pictures you would like to see. I’ll soon be taking my own pictures with my camera. So far all my pics are taken with my iPhone.
Thanks for stopping by. GO DODGERS!

Your seats are fantastic Cat! What a great view of the game. As a kid, my family and I used to sit in the orange deck over on the side near the Dodgers’ bullpen because my sister and I loved watching the relievers warm up.
If you’re taking votes I would love to see your photos of the games and hear about the game from your point of view – it sounds like you get a lot of fun interaction with the players and have nice up close and personal view of the infield action. Congrats on the new owners! I think Magic will be good for the Dodgers.
