2012 SEASON HIGHLGHT AT ISOTOPES PARK

It was also Dukes Retro night at Isotopes Park


I have been a subscriber to XM Satalite Radio for a long time now,  I want to say since 2002.  I listen to MLB Network Radio constantly through out the day.  One of my favorite baseball hosts is Kevin Kennedy.  I liked how his insight and stories about the Dodgers, not to mention I thought it was cool how he talked about his time with the Albuquerque Dukes as a Manager.  It's always nice to here about your home town on national radio.

Kevin was also one of the host of Dodger Talk, a show I am able to listen 800 miles away here in Albuquerque, thanks to Iphone and Podcasts.

Last season Kevin was inducted to the Albuquerque Baseball Hall of Fame, at Isotopes Park.  I now had the chance to shake his hand and obtain an autograph and you know me get a picture with him.

Kevin is no longer on XM, or the off season addition of Dodger Talk.  So if you read this Kevin you need to get back on the air!  Thanks for the autograph, picture, and keeping me awake at work.

I can cross Kevin off my list of people I want to take pictures with from XM Radio.  All I have left is Mike Ferrin, Casey Stern, Jim Dequett, and Jim Bowden.

Great post Evan!

I got to know Kevin quite well this past season during my time in the Vin Scully Press Box. He and I had several great conversations and he is, as you say, extremely knowledgeable not just about the Dodgers, but about the game itself.

I actually wanted Kevin (aka: the Skipper”) to be the Dodgers manager over both Jim Tracy and (uggh!) Grady Little, but for whatever reason, he was not even considered. My guess is that he pissed somebody in the organization along the way (he tends to speak his mind, which I like but some others apparently do not).

I look forward to spending time with Kevin (and his DodgerTalk co-host David Vassegh) again during the 2013 season.
