May 16 - San Diego Trip - Dodgers vs Padres

I went on a one day trip to San Diego with my friend Jason (Yeah, bat boy Jason) last Wednesday to catch the Dodgers/Padres game. It was my second trip to San Diego this year. First one being Opening Day.

Jason's goal of the day was to catch a ball with the Dodger Stadium 50th anniversary logo. Did he get one? More on that later....

Jerry Sands is happy to be back with the Dodgers. Signed autographs for everyone.



Elian Herrera spent seven years in the minor leagues. He's now in L.A.



I forgot to shoot a picture but Jason had a Herrera baseball card from 2009 when he played for Inland Empire.

Remember Burger Lounge? We went there again.



Nothing beats a Mexican Coke.



Petco Park. So peaceful. Great weather. I love San Diego.



Waiting to get in.



Jason really wanted a ball. I can tell he was on a mission to get a ball. He said "You can go get autographs, I will be here to see if I can get a ball".

I stayed to try to help him.

Clayton Kershaw.



Juan Rivera flirting with the ball girl.



I believe it was Mark Ellis batting. Hits one deep. Jason runs and jumps over some bars and boom! He caught a ball.



And it was the 50th anniversary logo!



Javy Guerra signing autographs.



Thank you Dave Hansen.



Thank you Jerry Sands.



Andre Ethier



I rarely get excited over autographs. I'm used to it I guess. But this time I did get excited because I gave Ethier three cards and didn't expect him to sign all three.

Oh yes! Must have been my shirt.



Vin Scully was in the stands.



I don't think I saw the Los Angeles Dodgers play. It was the Albuquerque Isotopes.



I'd say less the 10,000 fans were there. Dodgers lost but it doesn't matter.



It was great meeting many fans that read this blog. Thanks for the nice words. And thank you Jason!
