Spotting famous people is par for the course at Dodger Stadium, but every once in a while, a superstar comes along who causes more of a stir than say, a James Denton or Matthew McConaughey.
Such was the case on Saturday, when blond bombshell Pamela Anderson stepped onto the field while the Astros were taking batting practice. Anderson was there with her sons' Little League team, and as part of the package, was selected to throw out the ceremonial first pitch that night.
Anderson's presence, predictably, created quite a stir. Hunter Pence posed for a picture with her, while radio announcers Dave Raymond and Brett Dolan vacated the broadcast booth and raced to the field to get a closer view of the "Baywatch" Hall of Famer.
Raymond, who unapologetically admits he's admired Anderson for the better part of 15 years, scored an interview with the actress, which he played during the ninth inning of Saturday's game. He also asked Dolan to take a picture of the two of them, which Dolan was happy to do. Too bad the batteries of his camera died just as Anderson broke into her toothy smile.
"Do you think that's the biggest choke job of all time by a wing man?" Raymond wondered.
"I knew my batteries were low," Dolan grumbled. "But I thought I had enough for two pictures."
Pence had better luck. After taking a picture with Anderson, he offered, of all things, modeling advice.
"I hope she didn't take it literally," Pence said. "I was like, 'Let me show you how you model.' She didn't respond, so I was like, 'Maybe I shouldn't have said that.'"
And just what tips did he pass along?
"I just posed -- I gave her the Blue Steel," Pence said, referring to the name of a male model pose in the movie "Zoolander". "I've been working on it for years."
