A day after having the 2010 season come to a close, The College of Idaho baseball team was unable to catch a flight back to the Treasure Valley - instead, having to remain in Southern California. Head coach Shawn Humberger gave the team an opportunity to experience things some have never done before - a trip to Venice Beach, including the famous Muscle Beach (
Take a look at Venice Beach). While on the beach, the Yotes had the opportunity to dip their feet in the ocean and check out the boardwalk, which seemed to many of us as a big freak show.
One thing that was interesting was a double rope climb near Muscle Beach, in which Bobby Wassmann tried it out (
Watch Bobby climb the ropes) .
Then, the team had the opportunity to head to Dodger Stadium and catch a game between Los Angeles and the San Diego Padres (
take a look at Dodger Stadium) - which was an experience in itself - as the team sat in the right field bleachers, part of the All-You-Can-Eat section (as many Dodger Dogs, Nachos, Popcorn, Peanuts, and Soda you wanted).
The LA fans are hardcore - really into their baseball, even more so than I saw at Wrigley Field in Chicago or Safeco Field in Seattle. If there was a Padre fan around - he was "escorted" out by security. Los Angeles won the game, 4-1, with closer Jonathan Broxston striking out Matt Stairs to end the game (see
the final out from the bleachers) I was able to snap a bunch of photos from the day - enjoy!!!
