Chapter 14

When we got back into the stadium, Kevin opened a door leading to a hall full of awards lined in glass cases on the walls. He was not in a hurry to get me out of my wet t-shirt and started showing me around, pointing to different golden gloves, world cup trophies, and telling me about the baseball players who won them, or the games that got the Dodgers the win. He was a fascinating historian, and even though I had zero knowledge of baseball, his love for the game and the men who played it before him, made me listen to every word he said. Kevin was telling me about the most famous Dodgers player, a name I’d heard before – Jackie Robinson, and the award named after him for Rookie of The Year. At the end of the wall, he pointed to a wooden plaque and grinned.

“Recognize this guy’s name?” he nudged me. I read the engraving that said, Liam Tanner.

The pride on Kevin’s face was obvious. After listening to his explanation about this sport that had millions of fans around the world, it must be something exceptional to be related to someone who had reached the highest level of achievement. Kevin was looking at me, measuring my reaction, like he was curious if Liam’s fame was getting to me.

“Wow. You know how to warm my gold-digging heart, don’t you?” I teased him again. “But you can’t fool me, Kev. You are solidly on Liam’s fan train, too.”

His lips stretched wide, and he nodded in agreement. “Of course, I am proud of him, Lauren. Liam is my best friend, and his success has always been an inspiration for me.”

“Wow. That totally hurt.” I joked, holding my heart dramatically, “I better step up my game, then, and reclaim the spot of best friend.”

Kevin looked at me pointedly, like he was about to say something, but changed his mind, “Let’s get you out of those wet clothes because it’s getting late.”

He opened the door to the Club House, which was basically a large locker room. I looked around curiously, reading the names of players above each cubicle, but none of them sounded familiar. I bet some diehard fans would have a field day if they were in this private room where their favorite players spent most of their time. The room looked like a lounge with comfortable couches, tables, and big screen TV’s, like it was not just a place to change clothes, but to relax and prep for the game.

Kevin went straight to a locker at the end of the room and entered a code on the digital keypad. I arched an eyebrow at him in surprise, and he grinned. “Liam is bad with passwords. He uses the same one for everything, and I learned it before junior year in high school.” He admitted.

He rummaged through the few belongings inside and pulled out a white and blue jersey, handing it to me. He got up and opened another door leading to something like a dining room with a long table and a bar counter for food setting.
