The 2013 Major League Baseball season is "in full swing" (pun completely and whole-heartedly intended), and Youth Resources of Southwestern Indiana has an opportunity for you to catch a game at one of the leagues historic ballparks, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles!
I found this video while checking out the sports website Deadspin.com. In it, Evansville native, former New York Yankee great, and current Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly joins his son Preston and some of his friends to perform some pretty impressive trick shots at a few of the more recognizable places in Evansville including a few area high schools and Casino Aztar.
Years ago, my wife and I were at the Hard Rock restaurant in Orlando, FL and while waiting for a table, we ordered a drink at the bar. The bartender did his job and asked for ID. However when he saw our Indiana driver's licenses, he asked, "Did you guys ride your tractors down here?" Since we were in Florida, I wanted to reply with, "Are you here legally?" But I didn't, I bit my tongue and drank my beer.
Being an Evansville resident since the day I was born (West Side! Represent!), I know the stigma placed on us by the rest of the nation based solely on our location on Earth (which we obviously have no control over).
