Dodgers game

In the not too distant past Andrea and I participated in "Mormon Night" at Dodger Stadium (and by participate I mean we went and watched a baseball game).

Now what all does "Mormon Night" entail?  Well, in addition to getting some blue rubber bracelets all of the Stakes (a Stake is group of congregations like a doicese) that were in attendance got a shout out on the big sign!

This is what it looked like from our seats.

 In the center of the above picture you can see a little fake Hollywood sign that says:

It makes everything feel really LA-ish.  It's too bad the Dodgers can't pull out the Cinderella championship win like in all the movies (it's pretty funny that they have Angels billboards not too far from Dodger Stadium - guess everyone just loves a winner).

Here's what it looked like from the opposite side of the park.

Can you see us?

 (If you're still looking the answer is no, we're taking the picture).  Anyway, as you can tell from the crowd the  Dodgers are a stellar team and really dominate out there.

One thing that was really cool was that they let anyone who wanted come down onto the field after the game

TO WATCH THE FIREWORKS!!!!

I don't know how many people came for the game and how many came for the fireworks, but there seemed to be a lot more excitement around the latter.

One fun thing we saw at the game was seeing LA City Hall (or as I described it to Andrea: that building they always show in Drop Dead Diva).

Another was seeing Jackie Robinson's retired number.

Even though all of the Major League Baseball stadiums have Robinson's number retired, he played for the Dodgers which makes it a little cooler (even though he played for them when they were in Brooklyn).

Here's a useless trivia fact: only Robinson and Wayne Gretzky have had their numbers retired by every team in the pro league of their sport and they both played for teams that are now in LA (Gretzky played for the LA Kings).

All in all the best "Mormon Night" I've ever been to.
