The Dodgers are in town this week and I'm going to the entire series. Tonight I showed up during the fourth inning with a $5.00 ticket and cheap food that I sneaked in from an outside vendor.

I got into the stadium and immediately noticed that an usher was absent from one of the lower level entrances, so I jumped on it and got into the lower section. Walking down, I was dumbfounded because the next usher was also missing from his or her post, so I kept moving. I got all the way down to the rows right behind the $130 diamond club seats with this view:

The crappy cell phone picture shows exactly how close I got for a mere $5.00. I did some solid scouting in on Wilson Betemit and Yhency Brazoban for my fantasy baseball league.

I tried to sneak into the diamond club seats during the 8th inning, which didn't work out so well. But honestly, the only thing that would have made the experience that much better would have been if the Dodgers won 10-0.

Oh wait, that actually happened.

In that case, it could have only been more awesome had I walked away with a foul ball.
