I’m not a baseball fan, but Jen is. So ever since we met our buddy Doc Hubbard a number of years ago and discovered that he was a lifelong Dodgers fan, Jen has been wanting to attend a ballgame with him at Dodger Stadium for her MLB Ballparks quest.

Well, that day finally arrived. We found a weekend that would work and made the trek over to LA to hang out with Doc, his wife Lupe, and his daughter Lily, who we finally got the chance to meet (we’ve stayed in her bedroom several times while she was away at college).

It was a fun outing, featuring some great weather and a one-sided victory for the home team. Boy do people go nuts for that Ohtani dude. Doc showed us around the stadium a bit, I got to catch with Krista, and was even able to hike my ass up tons of stairs to the upper level to get to our seats—my first “exercise” since my recent cardiac event.
