Dodgers Arrive In Sydney, Make New Friends

The Dodgers have arrived in Sydney. Blare the horns, and sound the alarms. The boys are baaaaaack in town!, Ok well they’re not back in our town, but they are in a town down under. The Dodgers touched down in Sydney late Monday evening.

The club’s twitter account has been very active in letting us know how their flight was and what the boys in blue have been up to in Sydney. And no, they’re not riding kangaroos, or wrestling alligators. Let’s take a look at what the club has been up to since landing in Australia.

First things first, here’s some images from their flight.

Uribe takes some grounders.  Don’t worry he brought his empanadas with him.

What did I say about the boys not riding Kangaroos? Here’s Clayton Kershaw and his wife Ellen with one lucky Kangaroo. <blockquoteclass=”twitter-tweet” lang=”en”> The picture you’ve all been waiting for — the Kershawsand a kangaroo.
