Yesterday I met Kenny Landeux. He played for the Dodgers in the 80's. He signed a team ( 19981 world series champs ) pic for me. He was at a mall nearby.
When we came hom my neighbor tells me, that Dusty Baker will be in town this weekend. A new baseball field will be named after him. He's close friends w/ Dusty.
He is going to introduce me !
The kids have a bday party to go to, yeah, I am so NOT going. I can't wait. Dusty was a fav of mine in he 80's.

Friday was our anniversary. We planned on going to dinner. Our neighbor ( who knows Dusty) asked where we were going. It turns out Dusty was staying at the hotel where we were going. Our neighbor invited us to join them later that night at another restaurant across the street. We didn't go. We didn't want to interfere. Our neighbor has some health problems. We thought they should have time to talk, kwim?
I took the kids to the ballfield on Saturday. My neighbor saw me & wanted to know why I didn't join them the night before. He told me where Dusty was parked. He said when Dusty leaves . he'll introduce me.
We stood in line for the autographs. Dusty signed a card, a baseball & my pic that Landeux signed. Derrell Thomas signed it too. There was free food for everyone, hotdogs, chips sodas, popcorn & peanuts.
When Dusty was leaving a bunch of people surrounded him. ** I tried to get a pic w/ him & my kids when he signed the stuff. The woman from the city said . no, that this guy w/ a camera took some pics. I had to get his business card to get my pics. That guy didn't give out any cards. She was allowing certain people ( those who work for the city) to take their pics.
I thought, ok there's no way we are going to get our pic. too many people, now he's running late for his flight.
Dusty was signing an autograph, I told the kidsto turn around. I'll just a pic w/ him in the background. When Dusty reached his car, he said, "ok ok Thank you, now please, wait I need to take a picture w/ the kids. Come here kids." He called my kids over, put his arms around each of them!
How nice was that?
