I got invited to the ballgame last night to see the Dodger Stadium debut of Dodgers phenom Walker Buehler. The seats were just as awesome as the kid.
The bonus was I got to see an incredible game by Kike Hernandez. He made two brilliant plays on the field, hit a home run and laid down a crucial eighth inning bunt single that directly led to the game winning run scoring. By the way, Buehler pitched five scoreless innings. What a game!
Here are a few pics from my night at Chavez Ravine. Leading off is the kid, Buehler. His fastball is so fast, the ball's already in Grandal's mitt while the batter is still waiting for it to arrive.
Here's Yasiel Puig giving the ump his opinion of the generous strike zone (which wasn't so wide for Buehler).
The most excellent view from my seats! A special shoutout and THANKS to my friend Naomi for sharing her ticket with me. They were the best seats in the house.
Chris Taylor in action.
Hey! It's Tommy Lasorda!
Buehler staring in at the signs. I think this was his last (or second to the last pitch of the night). Note the "Big K" scoreboard showing his five strikeouts.
The kid bringing the heat.
Here's me in my homemade Buehler jersey. It says Bradley under there.
There's Nomah! See the schnozz?
Here's Kike Hernandez laying down his brilliant bunt single, which advanced Chris Taylor to third base.
That was followed by Cody Bellinger's sac fly to bring home the winning run.
The seats were fantastic, the Dodgers won, and I had an awesome time. THANKS, Naomi!
Aloha!
