I went to the Dodger’s game on Sunday night. The entire crowd and both teams stood to honor a veteran and stood for the National Anthem. It was my first Dodger game in 52 years.

I’m done with the NFL. It’s the players who have done it. Screw them.

And yes, that was one hell of a finish for the Dodgers. I’m glad I was there.

Great to hear that about the Dodgers game. Same thing at the LA Kings game last Wednesday at Staples. Huge ovation for a Marine who was honored at the game. Gotta love the NHL. There are a couple of clowns out there, but for the most part hockey players and fans are very patriotic. GKG!

At the Cardinals’ last game of the season, a player came out about 45 minutes before the first pitch, stood at attention with his hand over his heart. Other players came out to put an umbrella over him, put a police officer’s vest on him. He didn’t move until the first pitch. When the Milwaukee club saw what was going on, they sent one of theirs out as well. Of course the whole thing did not make the news.
