How a Girly Girl Became a Baseball Fan

by Nicole March 17, 2010 Baseball Memories

I always like to tell people,
“I married into a love for baseball.”
My parents and brother give me crap because as a child I was your average luke-warm-fan-of-the-home-team {Padres} but when I married, I married into a love of the game, and a love of the Dodgers.
I always liked baseball. My brother and I even once [...]

Dodgers vs. Angels

by Nicole March 2, 2010 Baseball Games

Here are some photos from a game we went to last year on June 20th, 2009. We love going to Angel Stadium (Gigi and I particularly like the Rally Monkey), especially when we get to see the Dodgers play there. The “Freeway Series” is always a fun rivalry. Angel Stadium will always be special to [...]

She’s Learning Her Colors

by Nicole November 9, 2009 Baseball Games

Yesterday my dad took Chiquita to the grocery store. Apparently, he asked her which “car cart” she wanted to drive/ride in. Her choices were red and blue. Now, let me point out that this is the girl that almost always responds with a confident “yellow!” when asked what color something is, regardless of what it [...]

by Nicole June 1, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

Yesterday morning we walked around Lincoln Square, the neighborhood where we are staying, had lunch at the tasty Bad Dog Tavern, and even got a little taste of Chicago’s Mayfest as well (thanks random guy for giving us a few free food tickets!).
Chiquita took a good nap and then we headed out to Wrigley Field. [...]

Padres at Dodgers~ May 1, 2009

by Nicole May 29, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

We had a great time as usual at Dodger Stadium! This was our first time taking a toddler, and despite the age of the stadium, it was pretty doable with a stadium. A couple of downfalls for a young fan was the lack of elevators (only a couple at the whole place!) and unfortunately no [...]

Dodger Stadium Tour

by Nicole May 16, 2009 Stadium Tour Guide

Ballpark tours are such a fun way to learn more about the game and its history and get a behind-the-scenes look at a particular team. It’s also a great way to get excited for a new season and to get a little baseball fill during the off-season.
Here’s the photo album from the tour we went [...]

Manny~ Not A Whole Lot More To Say

by Nicole May 11, 2009 Baseball Randomness

It’s sad when you have to tell your two-year old that her favorite player is on “baseball time-out.”

One of the biggest stories of the off-season has been the saga of Manny and the Dodgers. We know that they finally made a deal, but Manny is one of those guys that is always in the news.
Here are a few recent Manny-Related Links from around the blogosphere for ya.

The Korean Manny from Bugs & [...]

A Welcome Attitude from Randy Wolf

by Nicole March 6, 2009 Editorial Thoughts

In contrast with the long, money-crazed process of signing Manny, as is almost commonplace today in the majors, I was blown away at the refreshing attitude of pitcher Randy Wolf on his recent signing with the Dodgers.
Wolf originally thought he’d be signing with the Astros for $28.5 million over three years, but instead signed with [...]

Mannywood Act II

by David March 5, 2009 Editorial Thoughts

As a regular, working stiff, I can only dream of how I would spend $45 million.  But for the Dodgers, they may have just bought themselves a second consecutive National League West pennant for that exact price.  After four months of deliberation, the Dodgers and Manny Ramirez agreed to a 2-year deal worth $45 million.
