The Mickey statues originated several years ago when the All-Star game was hosted in Anaheim. The statues were then delivered to each team's ballpark. I'm not sure how many actually have theirs out, would be interesting to see!

Time Warner Cable has the TV contract with the Dodgers and are the only television provider that carries the channel the Dodgers air on. In most places, you can't even get Time Warner Cable if you wanted to because cable companies have monopolies over certain areas. I know so many Dodgers fans that are extremely unhappy that they can't watch their Dodgers play. They live within a half hour of Dodgers Stadium and can't see their team play on TV unless that game is carried on ESPN or Fox. Two years ago, Time Warner held Lakers fans ransom for the first month of the season until the other cable providers and satellite providers caved in an paid Time Warner to put the Time Warner owned station on the air. I think they weren't too happy about doing this and haven't caved in this time. I live about 15 minutes from Dodgers Stadium and couldn't watch the Dodgers on TV if I wanted to. That's pretty sad. It's okay with me because I'm an Angels fan, though. I do feel bad for my Dodgers loving friends.<br /><br />I love Mercy Me! I worked back stage at the Gospel Music Association Dove Awards when they won Artist of the Year and got to briefly meet the guys. They were super nice. The Angels have concerts after a few games each year as well. Although, I haven't made it to one of those games.<br /><br />My wife and I were on the jumbo tron for pre-game batting practice at the Big A years ago. The cool thing is that my wife had been given amazing seats right behind the Angels dugout for the game. Our seats not only got us on the jumbo tron during the game, but also on television a whole lot during the dame. We had my parents DVR the game and watched it later to see if we could see ourselves. Sure enough, with every right handed batter, there we were. <br /><br />I'm a huge sports fan. My favorite team by far is the Los Angeles Lakers. I'm also a fan of the Anaheim Angels (I refuse to call them the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim because it's a silly name. They don't even play in Los Angeles County.), San Francisco Giants, Oakland Raiders, and USC Trojans Football. Can you tell I'm a Californian?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993706116118561467.post-29046910194762297292014-06-17T12:33:23.540-05:002014-06-17T12:33:23.540-05:00Loved seeing your photos posted on the Jumbotron.....Loved seeing your photos posted on the Jumbotron...very cool Karen.

The stations we get aren't from our area and the news coverage that is closest to us is not even one of our primary stations. Okay looks like i'm ranting on now!<br />I get to go to a Professional game over the 4th and am excited! Oh, by the way, i've seen that Mickey statue at WWS at Disney (of course it was a braves one) but I am wondering how many stadiums have the Mickey statue. Do you know?

Of course, huge saints fan but we never get to go b/c tickets for nose bleeds are over $100 a ticket. :( Luckily when we lived in biloxi every game was televised, but now being back in madison I am nervous b/c I remember when we used to live her were didn't get to see every game!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916505301213013235noreply@blogger.com
