THE TWO SPORTS ACTIVITIES THAT I WOULD LOVE TO DO BEFORE I DIE
Second in a series
I’ll get right to the point…
These two sporting endeavors on my bucket list have been on such for more or less a long time,
And they are both baseball-related:
- Participate in the Dodgers fantasy camp – spend a week playing baseball at Camelback Ranch, the Dodgers’ spring training facility where (I believe) they hold their adult fantasy camps in February – with fellow Dodger fans under former Dodger stars fulfilling my baseball fantasies
and…
- Play either one baseball game or one pick-up softball game on the field at Dodger Stadium – whenever the Celebrity All-Star Softball Game is held during MLB’s All-Star week, I always find myself wishing that I was out there with the various celebs and former big league stars showing what I can do.
As sure as I’m typing this, I would have the ultimate great time playing baseball at a fantasy camp or playing (preferably) first base at a celebrity softball game in Chavez Ravine.
Back in 2011 and 2012, I had the extreme privilege of being on the field at Dodger Stadium behind home plate as a member of the UCLA Alumni Band, playing tunes on my saxophone during pre-game festivities and fulfilling a wish.
Now the next step is to actually play a ball game on those grounds.
Yes, I know that the chances of my actually achieving those dreams are twofold,
- Slim, and…
- None
But hey, a guy can dream, can’t he?

Dodger Stadium – where it would be ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE for me to play a baseball or a pick-up softball game…
