Dodger Stadium carries the architectural distinction of being the only major league ballpark carved into the side of a ravine, making it also the only major league ballpark that players enter from above the nosebleed seats.
Trayce Thompson always believed he would make it back there, but he could never know for sure, so every day, he leaves for work just a minute or two early. He pulls into the player parking lot and enters on the eighth floor, high above home plate, and takes the stairs down a level. He strolls out into the stands, where the best view in baseball unfolds beneath him.
