I agree with just about everything he says. Here&#8217;s some of my favorite quotes:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Signature concession item: It&#8217;s the Dodger Dogs. Rumor has it they&#8217;re soaked in beer, before being boiled, and then grilled. That&#8217;s a lot of love for $3.50.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bathrooms: The park shows its age a little here. Some tile erosion, some dim lighting. Clean, but not plush. (And just so we&#8217;re clear: Troughs never impress.)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Knowledge of local fans: The standard line is that the Dodger faithful are late-arriving, early-leaving, apathetic and uninformed fans. The standard line is tired and untrue. They&#8217;re not apathetic and uninformed. (And they&#8217;ve got Vin on the radio.)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think I have ever left a game early, although I did arrive a few times late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past few weeks, I have see several people wearing Dodgers shirts, hats, and even a jacket.
