Dennis Butts from the Poway Postal Annex (in Target Shopping Center) joined me to talk sports and it was so fun! Dennis is a huge LA sports fan, but he doesn’t rub it in too badly for us San Diego fans. ?

Every time I visit his Postal Annex store, we always talk sports. It’s a real joy. So, we finally decided to actually do this as a podcast!

Topics included:

Growing up in Toledo OH and attending Detroit Tigers games at Briggs Stadium.

Moving to Los Angeles and growing up in Bell CA.

Sharing so many great LA Dodgers stories about Tommy Lasorda, Jeff Hamilton, Tom Niedenfuer, Jackie Robinson, Al Campanis, and the Greatest of All Time Vin Scully. Dennis also shares the time Dodgers NL MVP Matt Kemp came into his Postal Annex store for a passport photo. Plus, there’s Dennis’ story of being at Dodger Stadium on opening day when Fernando Valenzuela made his unexpected MLB debut filling in for an injured Jerry Reuss and then throwing a complete game shutout.

Dennis Butts shared his story witnessing in person LA Rams QB Vince Ferragamo magical comeback in the NFC Championship game including his pass TD pass to Waddy Davis. Dennis was there in Cowboy Stadium.

Plus, we talked about the LA Lakers and Dennis being there at the Great Western Forum when the Lakers beat the Pistons to clinch the 3-peat. We also share our memories of the great Kobe Bryant and the tragedy of his passing.

We took a walk down memory lane as Dennis shared his experiences as a sports broadcasting student interviewing Wally Joyner in the Angels locker room.
