Baseball all around us
From a prominent neighbor celebrating Dodgers Opening Day with Vin Scully at Dodger Stadium to hundreds of local youngsters opening their careers with Pony League baseball, the sport is influential in local lives. In the photo above, with a background of the towering neon sign over The Grove’s parking structure and the giant clock on the Farmers Market Self Storage building, players in the Wilshire Warriors Shetland division (ages 5 to 6) play tee ball in Pan Pacific Park. The teams were the Rangers and the White Sox.
