LA Dodgers vs. Philadelphia Phillies Fun Activity 2004 NASA SHARP Program California State University, Los Angeles Reported by: Aditi Shah
The Philadelphia
Phillies had an early five-run lead built on four homers.
Jimmy Rollins led
off the game with a home run, one of four hit by Philadelphia in the first two
innings against
Kazuhisa Ishii.
Unfortunately, the game was cut
short for us since we left in the beginning of the ninth inning to avoid traffic
and grab a bite to eat. Therefore, the conclusion of the game was heard on the
radio. When the news spread to the sharpies, it was disappointing to know that
the Dodger’s had lost in the extra innings. The final score was 9-5 in favor of
the Phillies.

After
a long day of enriching enrichment activities, Friday night, the NASA sharpies
were taken out to the ball game, which started at 7:10 PM. It was Dodgers vs.
the Phillies at the Dodgers Stadium where we were seated on the Pavilion level.
We had a clear view of the field and the players as they made their homeruns and
their strikeouts. But it wasn’t the Dodger’s night as they lost to the Phillies.
The
game left many Dodgers fan disappointed as their rival team kept racking up
points. Many people opted to buy souvenirs such as tiny baseball bats with
Dodgers written on it, an inflatable baseball bat, a baseball with Dodgers
written on it and Dodgers logo t-shirt just to name a few. Other attractions at
the game were the cheerleaders from a local high school and one audience member
that took it upon him self to be the conductor of the wave. There was a
passionate Dodgers fan that was unable to contain his excitement and openly
expressed in a verbal manner. His devotion to the Dodgers attracted an audience.
