baseball in LA update

By LeTania Kirkland Smith May 2, 2012

Bring on the peanuts and Cracker Jack; baseball season is in full swing and for small sluggers it’s the most wonderful time of the year (sorry, Santa!). If your little leaguer can’t go to every game (who can?) or even see them on TV (grrrrr), we’ve struck upon loads of ways to get into the spirit of LA baseball. From Friday night fireworks to baseball inspired treats there is plenty in our great city to keep everyone entertained past the 7th inning stretch.

Then, The Big One

We know, we know. Even with all of these great suggestions, sometimes there is absolute no substitute for the excitement of Dodger Stadium on game day. It’s one of the oldest stadiums in the nation and boasts the Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully, for one more year. The littles need to sing “Take me Out to the Ballgame” and watch the sunset over the hills of Elysian Park. And even if you have lukewarm baseball viewers in your family, this is also the only place you can get a Carnation Chocolate Malt in a cup; lure them with the chocolate. Cuz sometimes, you just gotta take them out to the ballgame.
