Bonds
So Barry Bonds is also headed for Dodger Stadium Tuesday night. If he hits one more home-run, he will tie Hank Aaron. If he hits two, he will break the record. We will be there. I hope they skunk him. I’d rather have him get the record in San Diego later in the week since Padres fans REALLY hate him. They will give the moment all the drama it deserves - booing probably. Actually, I imagine they would soak up the historical aspect of it and give it a standing O. Anyhoo, it will make Tuesday night a bit more tense. With a couple of losses to Colorado this week, the Dodgers need wins to stay in front in NL West. So we should be seeing some good baseball. Last I read, the Dodgers’ best pitchers had minor injuries, so I don’t know who we’ll see on the mound. But it should be good baseball no matter.
(SJZ’s Grandpa Morales was a Dodgers fan, and he took SJZ to her first games way back in the day. This will be our fourth year in a row, and third time for the MTN2 and OMN. It will be HEN’s first, unless he can’t break the fever. Yvonne offered to watch him and maybe that’s the best idea. We’ll post pics of the boys with the field in the background.)

What intensity! I was actually just thinking as I glanced the sports page how crazy the baseball fervor will be in this next series, wondering if tickets would be harder to come by.
My Matt is a baseball nut and I kind of caught the fervor these past two season’s with the National’s reinstated here in DC. Evalyn and Henry have both been to games, Henry did much better the first time then his big sister. Not that they’ll remember it, but that’s what the pics are for!
