It's always a good time win the home team wins.
Saturday night was no exception. The sold out crowd included one hundred and fifty Local 44 members, who were treated to an exciting evening of baseball. "Manny" Ramirez was in great form with 2 home runs, one for 3 runs and another for 2 runs. Matt Kemp walloped another HR for 2 runs. All this power hitting helped the Dodgers to a 10-7 win over the San Francisco Giants. Everyone had a great time, it was wonderful to see all of the brothers and sisters with family and friends. Fathers, mothers, children and grandparents partaking in one of America's most loved pastimes, building memories under the banner of Local 44.
