Manny Mania!

We are die hard Red Sox fans, but when they traded Nomar Garciaparra, Derek Lowe & Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers, our loyalty was divided. It has been a dream come true for Darren to be a part of building the Dodgers & White Sox Spring Training Facility in Glendale. He gives us daily updates of people he's seen and enjoys watching the players practice.
Tommy Lasorda is a regular out and about on his golf cart. He was out signing autographs, and would only sign things for kids. He said, "Ladies first!" and grabbed a ball from an eager fan with long hair {which happened to be a boy.} When told the "lady" was actually a boy, Tommy handed back the ball and said, "Go and get a haircut!" He signed Alexander's baseball!The Men: Grandpa Roos, Alexander, Darren & Josh @ Camelback Ranch
How do you spell spoiled?!? My kids! Grandpa & Grandma made Xander's day by surprising him with a Manny Ramirez t-shirt. The kid won't take it off.
And spoiled child #2. I guess she's been begging for this wicked ugly monkey for weeks. Grandma to the rescue. Courtney told us, "I just can't stop smiling!"
The big man himself-- Manny Ramirez made his debut at this game. The last time we saw him in person was at Fenway Park in Boston.
Grandma & Courtney cheering for our team. Yea!
