I love LA!

I was fortunate enough this past week to travel down south to Baja Cali this past week(which is why I haven't been writing blogs) and started off in LA going to a Dodger game, then the next night a Angels game followed by two Padres games. LA is a pain with all the traffic to travel from place to place but they do have great sports teams.
LA Dodgers stadium was a sight to see it wasn't nearly as nice as the two other parks, but the history and the originality there is spectacular. Whether it's watching Manny be Manny which was funny when during the game he left the field, while the pitcher was warming up to go cool off in front of a fan! The fans are very devoted to their team there and they sell out just about every game so the park itself I would give a grade of about a B+ because of the history. The Dodger dogs were very good there and the selection was vast as well, so the food I give a solid A because of the Dodger Dogs. The history was great there and you truly feel like your are at an american pastime, baseball.
Anaheim Angels stadium was very clean cut. The fans are great but not as hardcore as the Dodgers, but they are very classy. The security there is lacking I sat first row behind the dugout and those weren't even our seats, and no one caught me even after 3 innings, so I just left. The fountain in the outfield was what made the park original, and the all star game will be hosed there this year on July 13th which will be great. They had a very very vast selection of food. It's not every day you find Panda Express and California Pizza Kitchen at a baseball game! The actual ballpark foods weren't great though like the hot dogs and Bratwurst. The stadium deserves an A- and the food a B.
Good Ol' Petco Park (San Diego Padres stadium) was great! The classy classy people, with swagga of college kids, and the originality and clean cutness of the stadium were tremendous. From the old metal supply building out in left field that they kept during the construction of the stadium to the sand pit out in center field, this was my favorite park. We expected to only go to one Padres game but were so pleased with the park that we went back to the second game. The park itself deserves a very solid A that's close to an A+, but the food only a B+.
In all I caught three baseballs and got 15 autographs, because as sated by Keegan Darby " the best part of the baseball game is before the game even starts!"
