Today was a Tuesday I'll never forget. I work next door to the Trader Joe's where the Dodgers came to visit, and I couldn't believe it. There was Tommy Lasorda, an icon from my childhood (I'm let's say...30-something now). I was so happy to just be able to see him, I wasn't prepared to actually MEET him! I was just as amazed to meet Kenny Landreaux, one of my favourite players from back in the day. It was just so awesome. As I stood with my baseball to be autographed, I felt like I was 8 years old again. A truly awesome, amazing day! Thank you to the Dodgers!!!
