Who can forget the awe when walking into this park for the first time? The turnstiles and gilded ticket windows and the domed ceiling took your breath away. And if that didn't,

the 80-foot Rotunda enclosed in Italian marble was sure to! Catching your beloved Dodgers with your father or grandfather, just the mere fact of being there, now that's a memory to last a lifetime!
