Mom's Talk: Would You Take Your Kids to a Dodger Game?

Today's issue asks the question: how do you feel about what's happening to the Dodgers?

Mom's Talk Sherman Oaks: Today's issue comes from Linda Arbiter. The question asked by Linda has to do with the Los Angeles Dodgers. How do you feel about all the turmoil? Tell us in the comments section.

Here are Linda's thoughts:

I was reminiscing with a friend about growing up in Los Angeles. I am a 2nd generation Angeleno. One of my favorite childhood memories was of going to Dodger Stadium.  I was captivated by the colors of the red clay and emerald green grass, the footlong hotdogs, the excitement of the crowd.   Years later I was able to share this with my sons.  Between their little league games and season tickets with the Dodgers, I lived and breathed baseball for a few years.  I was at a Dodger game a few weeks ago. It was not the same.  I did not feel the energy.  The controversy between the team owners and the effect on the team saddens me.  I'm reminded of how children can be effected by struggles in their families.   I'm curious if anyone else is feeling this sadness about the change in the energy around our Los Angeles Dodgers.
