The beginning of Summer with a 'Blue' Party!

It's the beginning of Summer and what better way to start than a special company party at Dodger Stadium.
The Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team was away for games in San Diego, so we had the stadium all to ourselves.
Weather was perfect here in SoCal as we arrived in the afternoon.

Dodger Blue is displayed everywhere!

Time to check in

What's going on at the Dodger outfield?

Hmmm, let's take a closer look....

We take the elevator down to the Dodger Dugout Club and walk down the hallway that proudly displays the history and winning achievements of the Dodgers.

I see some familiar faces on the wall, most were my childhood baseball heroes that I grew up watching....

We're not going into the Dugout Club....

But getting closer to the field...

Only 100 feet away!

Awesome! We get to play on the field!

My AP Royal Oak checks out the Dodger Dugout...

And I'm looking for a bat to see if I can hit a few balls on the field

As we walk towards the outfield there were lots of games and activities for the kids to play...

And plenty of tasty treats to eat like these cheese quesadillas

And mini Dodger Dogs! Yummy!

Our Company Party also had a laser tag type game...

Kids were shown how to use their laser guns to aim at their opponents...

More food was served at the new Tommy Lasorda's Trattoria in the outfield. Pizza, meatball sandwiches, chicken parmesan, and Italian sausage subs were delicious.

Meatball sandwich was tasty but bit-sized. Needed a few of these to go with my waffle fries.

3 types of mac n' cheese as a side dish.

2 types of hot wings (buffalo tasted better than the terriyaki wings)

And something very Californian, grilled corn on the cob with mayo, lime juice, chili spice and cotija cheese.

All the yummy snacks were available like frozen chocolate bananas, frozen lemonade, pretzels, and cinnamon churros!

A full bar with every type of drinks available.

A memorable treat by having a chocolate malt for dessert. I still remember the ones made by Carnation Ice Cream Company back in the day. But served with a plastic spoon and not those long wooden flat sticks LOL.

And one final panoramic picture from the outfield. I grew up as a Dodger fan and this was a fantastic event to be able to walk on the Dodger baseball field. I'll have to bring my glove next time!

Hope everyone has a great start to the Summer season!

Cool yu got to go on the field and tour the stadium. The new food items look good. That grilled corn with the lime and cheese is a L.A. street food favorite! Those wooden spoons for the malts always broke when I tried scooping it. :( -MW

It was an awesome experience

I still can't believe that we were able to walk on the outfield. Regards, ED-209

The Dodgers were a passion . . .

. . . for decades, Ed. I must've been to a few hundred games back in the '70s and '80s when they were one of the better teams ever put together, with players remaining on the roster for years, and in many cases, their entire careers. Garvey, Lopes, Russel...

I feel the same way

Thanks Art, I agree with your comments and feel the same way. I used to be an avid fan of the Dodgers and grew up watching the same players as you: Garvey, Cey, Lopes, Scioscia, and do you remember Dusty Baker, Rick Monday, and Pedro Guerrero in the outfi...

So many memories, Ed. Maybe the best . . .

. . . was the unbelievable 10 1/2 game deficit they erased in ten days during the '82 season. They were 10 and a half games out of first place to the Atlanta Braves on a Thursday; over the next ten days, they played eight with the Braves, and won every ga...
