PHILADELPHIA -- A Dodgers fan strolled through Citizens Bank Park undetected and, thus, unabused.

Alyssa Milano enjoyed her first visit to the park, now in it's fifth season.

"It's beautiful," Milano said. "I like that the field is below the street level."

The actress appeared at the Majestic Clubhouse Store before Thursday's game to promote her TOUCH clothing line -- geared for the female sports fan. Fans who purchased an item from her collection met Milano and received an autographed gift from her.

"I'm happy about it," Milano said. "It's everything I could've asked for. The response has been great. We're doing it for all the leagues now."

She didn't leave the stadium empty-handed. The members of the Cardinals' bullpen signed a cap for her, and the Phillies did the same with a baseball.

A lifelong baseball fan, Milano grew up rooting for the Yankees, since her father adopted them after the Dodgers left Brooklyn. The family rediscovered the Dodgers when it moved to Los Angeles.

The Dodgers entered Thursday tied with the D-backs for the National League West lead, but Milano is reserving judgment on her beloved team.

"I don't like predictions, because you never know," said Milano, who is heading to New York on Thursday and plans to attend the final All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium. "So many things can happen. Look at the Rockies last year. Who would've thunk it? If we get our team healthy, I feel we have as good a shot as any, especially with Joe Torre."
