NY Mets @ LA Dodgers

Left Jacksonville just before 8 AM, arrived at Vero Beach - "Dodgertown" around 10:45 AM.. Definitely a great spring training venue. Very close to the players. Autographs from some players from when I was growing up...Danny Darwin, Charlie Hough and Tom Lasorda. Saw Don Mattingly warming up, Joe Torre. Nice practice fields which Jamie went on taking a picture of Donny Baseball and was told by security (elderly gentleman) that "you know you're not supposed to be in there" multiple times.

Game just started...Steve Garvey threw out the first pitch and did infield at 1st base before the top of the first inning. Then James Loney came out. Garvey is promoting a new book.

I thought Donny Baseball was going to not coach this year due to family reasons?

Did you get me (from the Dodgers) a hat, program, yearbook, jersey and an autographed picture of Tommy Lasorda?

Does Garvey still have Popeye arms?
