Today’s sold-out Dodgers-Cubs game at Camelback Ranch was pretty darn entertaining! Chad Billingsley went four-plus innings, Manny went deep, Reed Johnson hit his own two-run blast, Rafael Furcal stole his first base of the spring and Blake DeWitt continued to hit well, going two for three. Director Rob Reiner (a noted Dodgers fan) was also on hand with his son, as was the great Peter Gammons.
I took in the game from the first base line with a bunch of Cubs fans who seemed to make up about 50 percent of the crowd on hand. Here are a few pics from yours truly. Enjoy!
