274. Dodgers vs. Giants
One of the greatest American traditions is the
of baseball. Living in Los Angeles has given
the chance to watch one of the oldest
teams in the history of the game --
Dodgers. The team came into existence in New
City in the 1880s, when they were known
several names. Until 1956, the Dodgers played in
New York, but in 1957, the team moved
to Los Angeles, and it has played there
since.
I recently asked my wife Josie if
wanted to go to a game one night,
of course she said yes. "Why wouldn't I
to go? The weather is great and the
is beautiful. Besides, I think we need a
in our routine," she said. "You're absolutely right,
. Let's go!" I said.
We were off to
Stadium, which is nestled in the hills just
of downtown L.A. in a neighborhood called Chavez
. Even though it is the third oldest stadium
the country, it is still beautiful. "Wow. This
never gets old," I said as we got
our seats. Josie agreed. It was a perfect
for a ball game. The temperature was in
low 70s, and it was a clear, breezy
.
The Dodgers were playing the Giants that night.
two teams have been playing each other for
100 years, ever since both teams were in
York. The Giants moved the same year the
did. only they moved up north to San
. That didn't stop the rivalry though. The teams
each other today as much as they did
in New York. The best part of the
was that the Dodgers won, so I had
couple of Dodger Dogs. "I don't know what
do to these hot dogs, but they are
," I told Josie. She wiped some mustard off
face and said, "Absolutely!"
