The Baseball Trip 2026

Day 11 - Thursday, August 13

We are on our way to fantastic LA, but first, breakfast at the Cowgirl Cafe.

Dumbass!

But we did make to Dodger Stadium without getting arrested. The Dodgers are hosting the Milwaukee Brewers. God knows I don't root for the hated Dodgers, but if they could just beat the Brewers this evening it would be okay. They were up 4-2 in the eighth inning, and then all hell broke loose in the ninth. They lost 5-4.

LA : Palm trees and traffic. It took 75 minutes to go twenty miles on the 101. Never again!

Random Observation from Randy: This Dodger Dog is good, but it will never top the Vienna all beef dog. Actually, the Vienna Polish is the best.
