Friendly Encounters

This is a regular series about friends who have met celebs.

Last week, I featured Joshua Kohl with Bill Russell a Dodgers legend.  This week, I am featuring another blogger friend with a Dodgers prospect.
It's been a little while since Evan Chavez appeared here.  Evan is a New Mexico Fan and that is the name of his site.  Evan lives in New Mexico, the home of the Albuquerque Isotopes, the AAA farm team of the Los Angeles Dodgers.  Evan is a huge Dodgers fan and his site reflects that.  There is a lot of interesting Dodgers stuff along with excellent coverage of the Isotopes.
Earlier this year, when the Dodgers recalled Josh Lindblom, Evan wrote a great post covering Lindblom's rise to the majors.  He included a picture of when he met Lindblom.
If you're a baseball fan (especially a Dodgers fan), check out Evan's site.  You will not be disappointed.

Friendly Encounters

This is another in a series of meetings of my friends and celebs.

Recently, I came across a blog which caught my eye. Evan Chavez is the voice of I Love This Game, which lets you know what it's like to be a fan 800 miles from your favorite MLB team and 10 miles from their AAA farm club.
Chavez lives in Albuquerque (NM) and is a Los Angeles Dodgers fan. He is also a fan of their minor league affiliate, the Albuquerque Isotopes and is a season ticket holder.
I Love This Game has a lot of great stories and awesome pictures. Chavez says, "Isotopes Park is very fan friendly and it is real easy to gain access to the players. The players are always willing to sign autographs and are all super nice."
I am always looking out for great celebrity pictures and Chavez has a bunch with Isotopes. The first one I saw is shown below. It is of Chavez with Shawn Estes (a long time favorite of mine) and Jason Repko, members of the 2009 Isotopes. Chavez met the pair at a meet-and-greet picnic for season ticket holders.
Chavez's site is cool even if you are not a Dodgers fan. I look forward to seeing what he does with it this season and I will have some updates from him in the future.
