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.
San Diego PADRES
Looking for an all-American day at the park? Then the San Diego Padres are right up your alley. Our 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 team other than 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.
Now
if you love the American League, you can head on up 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 north to find
the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Los Angeles ANGELS OF ANAHEIM For the American League fans, we have the Los Angeles
Angels of Anaheim. Mike Scioscia and the boys have been keeping the folks in
Orange County on the edge of their seats hoping for another World Series victory. 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.
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 Torre. 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 59-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.
So
let's root root root for the home team. Take your pick.
