Dodger Day III


On Thursday April and I attended Mormon Dodger night for the third year in a row. Of course we sat in the all-you-can-eat section. This year April tied me in the category of total Dodger Dogs consumed, but I left her in the dust with nachos and popcorn.


The Dodgers hold a Mormon Night every year. They do the same for a host of other churches and organizations but Mormon Night is always the biggest. The church gets discount tickets and a portion of the proceeds goes to the Missionary Fund.


Elder Ballard threw out ceremonial the first pitch. Here he is walking back in.

And Olympic gold medalist Peter Vidmar threw the ceremonial “second pitch.”

This was probably our last event with the UCLA Ward. We'll miss everyone.

Dodger Day

Last night was the annual Mormon Day at Dodger Stadium. Just like last year we sat in the all-you-can-eat pavilion. You can’t have too many Dodger Dogs (actually you can, and I got very close to that line last night). But you definitely can’t have too much nacho cheese on your tortilla chips.
It was fun to have Mitch and Sam back up from Orange County.
Elder L. Tom Perry threw the first pitch. Unfortunately the Dodgers lost but it was an exiting (and extremely short) game that went all the way down to the wire. Plus who cares if your team looses when you are surrounded by good friends and all the food you could ever want?
