So yesterday was Manny's first home game back from his 50 game suspension, as im sure you already know. Well my little nephew, Oscar, won a Manny-look-alike contest about a week ago at the L.A. Live, so he got 4 field level tickets for yesterday's game and a bunch of other stuff. We got to Dodger Stadium at about 5:25. Then we went to go see where our seats where at. So we were walking around and I saw my friend Lynda, she works at Dodger Stadium for FanPhoto. She said if I wanted to go with her all the way to the front and who's going to say no to that? Ha, ha. My nephew followed me later on. The first player to come out was Hudson, I prefer to call him O-dogg though. My nephew kept yelling and yelling at him. He ran for a while then one of the trainers helped him stretch and my nephew kept yelling until he turned around and said he would sign his ball when he was done. Honestly, I didn't think he was going to sign for us because I've never seen him sign before the games, or I just never payed attention, I guess. So then he was finally walking to us, he signed my nephew's ball, my friend's ball and my opening day stub when he hit for the cycle! As he was signing it I noticed the stub was backwards, ahh, I didn't tell him anything though. 
I'm just glad he signed it. I also got Kemp and Loney to sign cards for me and I got a ball signed by Casey Blake. The game itself was not the greatest, we got shut down. One moment I really enjoyed was when Juan Pierre was called on to pinch hit and the crowd gave him a stading ovation. How cool is that. Pierre deserves better than what he is getting, I'm glad Dodgers fans recognized that last night.
Manny also received ovations everytime he was at bat, it got annoying after the second one because I couldn't see the game as I wasn't standing up since I don't support a cheater. I had a lot fun at this game, ill post pictures up when my computer stops hating me, shalom.
