jonathan broxton visits pasadena

i noticed that temporarily demoted dodger closer, jonathan broxton, was going to be at the at&t store in pasadena's hastings ranch neighborhood yesterday.  i decided to head over to get an autograph on this photo that i took earlier this year.  the event was pretty well attended, but i got there after it had started and was still able to get my photograph signed. 

i'm trying to decide if i should start adding non-hall of famer autographs to my new blog...  take a visit and chime in.

i get the sense that the dodgers do these kinds of community events more than other mlb teams do.  maybe because they have another team so close by?  either way, i'm not complaining.  other teams should take notice.

jonathan broxton vs. albert pujols

one of the best power hitters in the game faces the dodgers best power pitcher. fortunately for dodger fans, last night the pitcher won the battle, striking out pujols on a check swing (on broxton bobble head night i might add).

the dodgers beat the cardinals 1-0, and moved ahead of the padres for first place in the national league's western division.

oh, and i think there was a basketball game last night. at least i think that's what these people were watching in the dodger stadium concourse...
