My buddy David grew up in L.A. and has been a huge Dodgers fan his whole life. He also used to dream about being an actor when he was a kid.
In a couple of weeks, he’s playing in the annual Hollywood Stars benefit game at Dodger Stadium.
Damn, it’s good to see nice people who work their tuchises off have their childhood dreams come true.
PS — I have no idea what the plural of tuchis is. Tuches?

Someone at the L.A. Times either has a wonderful or nonexistent sense of the absurd. I can’t tell which.
