A Dodgers Fan for a Day
October 21st, 2009 by David NelsonVicente Padilla was tapped to start for the L.A. Dodgers in today’s National League Championship Series game against the Phillies. The Dodgers are up against the wall, facing playoff elimination, and it’s Padilla’s job to bail them out.
Kind of like what he did for a group of people here in Bremerton two years ago.
Padilla’s $25k bailout wasn’t enough for El Centro de la Familia in the long-term, but it was a great gesture and, along with the United Way, kept the place afloat for another year.
So, at least for today, I’ll join Gardner and say “Go Dodgers.”
