A Seasoned Veteran Who Has This Game in the Bag

Share

Who: Roxie Britton, 47, of Whittier, second-grade teacher in Norwalk.

Where: Dodger Stadium, just before Saturday night’s Dodgers-Mets game. (Dodgers lost, 6-2.)

Her bag: A Dodger duffel bag from the stadium’s Bag Day. “It was several years ago, because Mike Piazza is on the side.”

What’s inside:

* A Dodgers jacket she’s had for 12 years.

* Binoculars, to see the field from the $8 unreserved seats in the top deck. (She prefers an aisle seat.)

* A bag of unshelled peanuts, to save paying $3 to the peanut man.

* A bottle of water.

* A seat cushion, covered with a pillowcase from home, for those hard stadium seats.

Why she came: “My father used to bring me to 50-cent Ladies Night when I was 7 or 8 years old and we’d sit in the bleachers.” Now she and two friends come to the ballpark 10 to 15 times a year, even though she says graciously that this year’s team is “disappointing.”

What she misses most about the team: 1988 (their last World Series win).
