Congrats to My Dodgers!!
0In honor of the first full season championship for My Dodgers since 1988, I put on my players jacket and World Series Championship hat from back then. I have had these since I was 12. Still got the pins from the season in the hat too! Jacket is a little tight but surprisingly I could still put the hat on my giant head LOL. Thanks to my Uncle Kim Wicker for buying these for me for Christmas back then! And of course, for taking me to many games including game 6 of the NLCS against the Mets that year as well!
Steve Garvey #6
0Ran into Mr. Garvey the Dodger Icon in front of the Omni Hotel in San Diego, CA back in July. He was in front of the hotel putting his luggage into his trunk at the valet station. Later I found out that the reason he was in town was for a pre-game event at Petco Park (SD Padres Home Stadium, right next to the Omni) in which they gathered the members of the last Padres Teams that made it to the World Series (1984 and 1998). Garvey was on the 1984 Padres Team after he left the Dodgers toward the end of his baseball career.
Anyway, myself and my co-workers were inside the hotel lobby and they pointed him out to me as he was loading his luggage into the trunk of his car outside.
I quickly went outside and approached him. I asked if we could have a picture and he was nice and gracious and we grabbed a picture together. He even helped me to compose the shot better! Nice guy and great to meet this L.A. Dodger Icon in person…..after all, I have been a Dodger fan all my life.
P.S. – He is also running for US Senator this year for the State of California..
