Break-time . . .
Tonight's Specialty Dog is no other Dog than the Wasabi Dog, a grilled Jumbo Frank
dressed in a sweet pseudo wasabi sauce, topped with sesame seeds and garnished with
scallions.
Saddly, there is simply not enough on this puppy to go with your beer, respectively.
One can completely munch on this in less than a minute.
The paying fans have to know . . .
"This Dog is Not Worthy."

In between the warehouse entrance and the Reserve Level it's always nice to say hello
to John the Usher of faith.
"Hello Mr. John! Did you read your "Book of Psalms" today?"
"Yes I did sir," he admits with a smile.
"Psalms 26, right?"
"That's right, Psalms 26."
John reads a verse from Psalms for each day of the month, everyday.
"Have a good game!"
"Same to you!"

Oh yeah, it's Nisei Week in Los Angeles.
The entertainment is just getting started.

Kenichi Ebina is breaking it down on top of the Dugout.

The National Anthem performed by ATSUSHI
(We all put on the breaks to observe the N.A.)

Back to business . . .

Tonight the crowd is multiplying like a Mogwai in a storm. The multitudes
of fans cruising the concourse in search of their seat isles, all determined to
purchase that special junk food item tailored for their evening. I know what
I have to do- warn them all to NOT eat that Wasabi Dog.

1st Inning,
The Stadium action is in full throttle.
Meaning, our Crew is getting hit by a truck, because we didn't see the
head lights.
Someone in our Stand shouts, "We are out of Dodger Dogs and Supers!
My left hand man, Jose is waiting to bun and wrap the Dogs on the grill.
The Ladies at the soda fountain are complaining because the fans
are complaining-
"Where are the Dodger Dogs?"
Cripes! This is a Tuesday night, what's going on?
"We need Supers!"
"Coming up!!"
+ +
3rd Inning,
"They are eating like they never had fried food", the Fry Guy surmises as he drops
six baskets of papas into the oil.
"Keep cooking Tony!"
The Soda Fountain girls pleads, "More Supers, please!"
"Coming out!"
"Order more ice!" Our Chola Assistant Manager demands.

4th Inning,
In between grilling D Dogs and getting bossed around by my Left Hand Man Jose,
there are a few minutes during every inning when I can warn at least a few
hundred people, to not pay for the damned Wasabi Dog . . .
+
5th Inning,
"Hey, every one!"
"LISTEN UP!"
+
6th Inning,
"Do not pay for tonight's Specialty Dog!"
"In the name of HIDEO NOMO!"
+
7th Inning,
"I'm trying to warn you to NOT eat the
WASABI DOG!"
+
8th Inning,
"ITS NOT WORTHY!"
HELLO!!
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!?
+ + +
The game,
Grandal's 3 run homer lifts the Blue Crew.
Dodgers win 3-2.
The best part of the game . . . this gentleman:
