Saturday evening we went to our second Dodger game in Glendale, Arizona. The Dodgers played the Chicago White Sox.  It was windy in Phoenix all day, but it subsidded in time for the game.  The Dodgers scored 6 runs in the 6th inning sending 12 batters to the plate.  The inning was topped off by a bases loaded double by Andre Ethier.  The Dodgers won 10-4.

 
Former Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda and current "special advisor to the chairman" walked the starting lineups out to the umpires at home plate before the game.  Tommy got a standing ovation from the crowd.  Tommy has spent 60 years with the Dodgers in various player, coaching, and front office positions.  Tommy managed the Dodgers during their last World Series win in 1988.

Lasorda, who is 85 years old, was walking pretty slow.  He suffered a slight heart attack in June of 2012 and walked like he had real sore knees.
