The Boys of Summer...Cali Style

Lisa Fernandez

We all know the words to Take Me Out to the Ballgame.  We've been singing it since we were kids.  "Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack" is practically law.  It's baseball season, America's favorite pastime.  And no matter what league you support, SoCal's got you covered.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS
Formerly the Brooklyn Dodgers, it seems that our boys in blue went back to their roots with their newest member, former Yankee manager, Joe TorreAnd to show his appreciation for his new sunny home, he led the team on to becoming the 2008 National League Western Division Champions. Located in the heart of Chavez Ravine, Dodger Stadium has been the crown jewel of Los Angeles since 1962 and has been named one of the best baseball fields by Major Leaguers.  Don't forget to grab yourself one of their famous foot-long Dodger Dogs, a must-have for the true Dodger experience.   And if you're a true blue fan, you'll bring your AM/FM radio to the game so you can hear the play-by-play voice of the Dodgers, Vin Scully.  Scully's 60+ year tenure with the Dodgers is the longest of any broadcaster with a single club in professional sports history.  And the game just wouldn't be the same without him.

Now if you love the American League, you can head on down to the OC and check out the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.  But if you need a little more National League action, you'll have to head a bit farther south to find the San Diego Padres.

LOS ANGELES ANGELS OF ANAHEIM

For the American League fans, we have the Los Angeles Angels of AnaheimMike Scioscia and the boys have been keeping the folks in Orange County on the edge of their seats hoping for another World Series victory.
  Last year, they got SO close becoming the 2008 American League Western Division Champions.  Our fingers are still crossed.  Their home, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, was renovated in 1998 with all the bells and whistles.  Their Outfield Extravaganza in center field comes to life with a 90-foot high geyser, fireworks, and pyrotechnics to celebrate great plays.

SAN DIEGO PADRES
Looking for an All-American day at the park?  Then the San Diego Padres are right up your alley.  Our San Diego Padres have been making moves since their National League West Division title in 2006.  Ask any local San Diegan about their Padres, and there is no doubt that they will mention their hometown hero, Tony Gwynn.  This Hall of Famer spent his entire illustrious career with no other team but the Padres and the locals just love him for it.  Plus, the Padres' home, PETCO Park combines the best sight lines in baseball with its view of San Diego.  And its innovative design evokes traditional baseball, bringing fans lower and closer to the action and amenities to suit every taste and budget.

So let's root root root for the home team.
  Take your pick.
