Here's A Retirement Perq
Via LA Observed:
Buried in Monday's Times feature about the 32-acre Not a Cornfield art project along the river north of downtown, a name popped out. Quoted briefly during a visit to the installation is 82-year-old Nobe Kawano, described as living "near Dodger Stadium." Many fans will probably remember that he was the team's longtime clubhouse and equipment manager, and a recurring figure in Sandy Koufax lore. Now retired, he apparently has a lifetime pass from major league baseball that comes with free stadium parking.
Comments:
rob, as a lifelong dodger fan who grew up in orange county, i enjoy your blog immensely...
nobe kawano is an old friend of my grandfather and when i was a kid, he was kind enough to take me down into the dodger clubhouse to meet all my heroes--sax, hershiser, guerrero, scioscia, etc. i also owe him a great debt for providing me with one of the greatest thrills a dodger fan could have ever experienced--being in the stands for game one of the '88 world series.
seeing nobe's name in print always brings about a sense of gratitude for those cherished memories... thanks!
