I'd Rather Be (Dodger) Blue

News/October 2008


 

The Brolins were spotted by millions of television viewers tonight as they attended the Dodgers-Phillies playoff game at Dodger Stadium. The Phillies beat the Dodgers 7 to 5.


   
Take Me Out to the Ball Game

October 13, 2008
Here's how it looked on TV. Folks around the country who were tuned to the Dodgers-Phillies playoffs (as we were) got a brief glimpse of Barbra and James in the stands at around 6:30 PM (PDT). Images of the Brolins were aired coast to coast during the Fox Sports broadcast just as the bottom of the 4th was about to get underway. Barbra and James were seated with the owner, Frank McCourt and his wife (both at Barbra's left) in McCourt's field box seats behind the Dodger dugout.

Also sharing the box were Dodger über-fans Penny Marshall and brother Garry. That's
Garry in the first row (in the white cap). The vacant seat belongs to Penny, who, we presume, made a quick run to the concession stand. And that looks like Dodger great Tommy Lasorda, sitting next to McCourt and listening in.

Of course, the Los Angeles Dodgers were originally known as the Brooklyn Dodgers. We don't know if Barbra ever attended a Dodger game at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field, but if she did, it would have been a short walk from her home.

The Dodgers abandoned Brooklyn in 1957. Barbra followed suit shortly thereafter.
