Going to the Sox vs Dodgers Game Sunday

 I am going to a red Sox game this weekend.   I haven't been to a game in two years and I am excited to go.  It was a combination Father's and Birthday gift from my daughter.  

Hopefully someone on here can help me with some Dodger Stadium Information. It looks like I can only enter in the Blue Shield Gate?  Is that right, I've never been to a stadium where it mattered what gate I entered.   If I am entering at the Blue Shield Gate does anyone know what parking I should look for?

Also Does anyone has some food recommendations in the area around Dodger Stadium?  We are driving from Phoenix Saturday evening and our hotel is supposedly somewhere close to the Stadium.  My daughter also wants to see the Hollywood sign while we are there.  I have heard that it is underwhelming but it is what she wants to do. 

Random Red Sox Card



I pick these Ted Williams Playball Tribute cards any time I find one.  Sometimes they are pretty pricy but most card shops have a little Ted Williams section in them so I find them without searching hard.  I I got this one in Gatlinburg at a randon card shop I stop in when I am there visiting relatives.

Past Present and Future

 You would think with a title like that I was going to talk about some young Red Soxs an how they compare to some older red Sox.  Instead I am showing off one of my 1/! Virdon cards.


This came from a set called 2014 In The Game Past, Present, and Future.  This was a high end set and cards came six to a pack.  Each pack contained five autographs and a fifth card that was either a: Slabbed Memorabilia Card, Graded Vintage RC of a Key Player (that is exactly how they labeled it Key Player}, Slabbed Vintage Card, or a Cut Signature.  The cut signature list was pretty darn good.  There was a Babe Ruth, Cy Young, Ty Cobbs, Jackie Robinson, and Joe DiMaggio.  


I opened zero packs and just bought the Virdon off of eBay.
