Spring Training to congratulate the Dodgers new Magic


With several Spring Training Visits under our belts, Traci Szymanski and I are headed to the Dodgers Compound in Arizona to be the first to congratulate the players on the Magic Johnson acquisition.
I am originally from Dallas and when I grew up, there was only one team we routed for and it wasn't in baseball. Growing up in a football town made it easy for me to love the Dodgers when I got to LA. We broadcast Dodgers Games on the radio station were I DJ, and I have made appearances on the field for the station over the years. That said, it was my good friend Traci Szymanski who showed me how to really have fun at a Dodgers Game. Traci grew up around the game with her brother and brother’s friends playing ball. Many of them went on to play in the Majors. She knows the game as well as any guy, maybe even the players. We’re always sitting in the front row (cheering on friends, haggling the opposing team and arguing plays and pitches) enjoying all you can eat and going to the game is like a family reunion each week. A group of us went to the game as her childhood friend and former Dodger’s Pitcher, Randy Wolf had his 100th career win, I always join her to support the important things like the Dodger’s charity initiatives that she is involved with including James Loney’s RBI Event and The Dodgers Dream Foundation Bowling Extravaganza etc. And for fun, we never miss a Halloween party at Brad Penny's house or a night out with the boys for Steel Panther. Traci has brought a list of celebrities to perform and enjoy a game including Slash, Will.iam, Leeanne Rimes, David Hasselhoff, Good Charlotte and WWE Superstar, The Miz. So during Spring Training, when Traci is heading to the Desert on a chartered plane with one of the radio stations or wants to go to support Matt Kemp’s Charity Event for Autism, or is going to to see friends who play on various teams, or just wants to be the first to say congratulations, I'm packing a bag and heading to baseball meca! Traci Szymanski and Tiffany Michelle, Poker player and star of “The Worst Cooks in America”, were at Spring Training for several baseball games, poker tournaments, charity events and promotions at their favorite spot “The Talking Stick Resort” earlier this month. This weekend the three of us will head to Camelback Ranch for the last weekend of Spring Training before the players suit up for the season.
