Headed out to Chavez Ravine last week to watch Elder Ballard throw out the first pitch for Mormon Night at Dodger Stadium.



Several LDS notables were there also, including Peter Vidmar and his Olympic buddy Mitch "perfect 10 on the rings" Gaylord. Mitch still has it, he did a flip out on the field to the applause of everyone there.





Funny but none of Elder Ballard's family was down on the field with him. A daughter-in-law was trying to convince an usher that she needed to be down there to photograph the event for the family.
I laughed, like the usher hadn't heard that one before! (she didn't get down there) He did offer to take pictures for her though!


I didn't do too bad with my cheap little camera however.

I think I managed some decent shots.











And the video is not half bad if I can figure out just how to get it uploaded.











I was able to visit with our friends Hal and Stacie.
A good night all in all, even had a walk off home run for the Dodgers. (I'm not a big fan, but hey I can root for the home team. It's not like they were playing the Angels!) Any ball game is better than none!

I agree with Amy, excellent pictures. It does make me laugh that they wouldn't let the daughter in law on the field to take pictures.
