I’m Christian Clymer and I live in the Washington, DC area. I’ve been a Dodger fan my whole life – a love passed on to me by my father who grew up in NY as a Dodger fan and moved to LA about the same time as the team. I vividly remember listening to the ’81 series on the radio in the car while driving across Iowa. In 1988, I covered the series for my high school newspaper in Tennessee. In 2013 (as crazy as it sounds), I got to see my first live Dodger game. Well, four actually. I was at the Padres game in San Diego for the Greinke/Quentin fight. I saw them come from behind to beat the Orioles in Baltimore. I was at the game when Kemp wrecked his ankle sliding into home in Washington (I know this picture jinxed him!). Finally, I saw the boys lose in Philadelphia, but sat out in right field with Puig all afternoon. I haven’t been to a game this year, but am trying my best to get out to Chavez Ravine for a game.
Being on the east coast makes being a Dodgers fan quite difficult, since most west coast games don’t start until after 10:00 my time. Here in 2014, though, at least it means that I can watch almost all of the games on MLB.tv, since I’m out of market. (Sorry!) During the day, I am a public affairs flack with a specialty in social/digital media. So, I guess I just can’t get enough of it.
