Jerry Sands and a Dodger Dog

One of the local card shops in my area had Dodgers' rookie Jerry Sands signing at their shop today. My wife and I decided to stop by since we're going to be attending tonight's second annual "Bark in the Park" promotion at Dodger Stadium tonight.

While there, I had Jerry sign a few items for me (i.e. ball and photos) but the big highlight was having him sign my dog Chloe's Dodger jersey which he had fun doing.


Not suprisingly, Jerry said signing a dog was a first for him.



If you look closely, you can see Jerry's finace in the photo on the far left.


Jerry brought his fiance to the signing and my wife being the female that she is struck up a conversation with her. She was super impressed with how nice both Jerry and his finace were. Once we left she filled me in on all the details of her girl talk (most of which I don't remember other than they're getting married in November).



 All in all, it was an enjoyable start to our family Dodger Day!

Ryan Garvey hopes to follow in father Steve Garvey's footsteps and play at Dodger Stadium

Here's a feel good story from the LA Times about Steve Garvey's son Ryan. He's a power hitter that's already committed to play at USC next year (pending the 2011 amateur draft results). His #1 ranked high school baseball team from Palm Desert, California is three playoff games away from playing at Dodger Stadium.

Here's hoping he makes it.
