But celebrities at games can be a good thing, much like the Lakers have had for 30 years now. They are the hottest ticket in town, and celebrities contribute a lot to that. If you think back to the O'Malley years, Hollywood stars such as Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Don Rickles, Sinatra, Danny Kaye, were often seen at games..and that was positive. <br />TwinsTwinkler: During Kent's years as a Dodger, he was very involved in the WIN program.

But I get your point. Evan, that Frank McCourt character surely reminds me of Charley Finley, in some respects...those promotions were either a hit or a miss! What a goofball! Now, did you mean to say Jeff Kent was a program unto himself for the adoring women, or just what was it that you meant? ;)ClassicMNTwinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958762709059504600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969719124137500057.post-55640779186904021082011-11-06T08:32:40.566-08:002011-11-06T08:32:40.566-08:00Celebrities at games is a good thing?
