« California Casket Company | Main | Dodger Owner Frank McCourt Drops By "Talk of the City" »

Dodger Clean Up

From my house in Highland Park, I can see the lights of Dodger Stadium in the distance. Sometimes after a game, I might wake up in the middle of the night and venture to the kitchen for a glass of water. Looking out, I’d see the the stadium lights still on. I found myself thinking of the person working the night shift in that playerless stadium, cleaning up after the thousands of fans, sweeping up abandoned beer cups and peanut shells before the next game. I wanted to talk to them. The Dodger organization graciously gave me clearance and I got to see the other side of Dodger’s stadium…the quiet stadium without the game and crowd where the real clean up crew went to bat.
