As many of you already know, the MLB FanCave is back for a second season. Currently, there are 52 Baseball fan contestants remaining, and out of that number there are 3 verified Dodger fans vying for a chance to immerse themselves into the game. They will eventually whittle it down to a final 9 with the help of fans like you.
Go here to see them all. Voting ends next week.
Since I am fanatically pro-Dodger, I thought it would be interesting to hear directly from those folks who want to represent us. Thankfully, the contestants had the same thing in mind. So, starting today til Friday, I will put up information about all 3 Dodger fans, and share some words they were kind enough to pass along.
First up is Huntington Beach native and super-Dodger-fan-man Thomas Aaron Roberts. See his
FanCave voting here.

Above are his particulars, and below is my informal email interview provided in full. I asked the same question to all three contestants; with exception of the last one (which was meant to be a little fun).
Why should this Dodger fan trust you to represent the Dodger faithful at MLB's FanCave? What would you say are your Dodger fan bona fides?
I would love to have the support of Dodger fans everywhere. I'm a
True Blue believer when it comes to the Dodgers and truly feel that
there isn't a bigger fan of the Boys in Blue than me. I know the
players, the stats, the traditions and the history. But most of all, I
know the game itself. Every March, I drive to Arizona to watch 4 Dodger
Spring Training games and get a taste of the upcoming season. I write
for two blogs about the Dodgers and also have my own blog chronicling my
thoughts on the Dodgers. I bleed blue and will represent the Dodgers
with passion, knowledge, personality, respect and excitement. I've had
dinner with Tommy Lasorda, met Steve Garvey at the Hall of Fame, been
blown off by Kirk Gibson, retweeted by Jerry Hairston Jr., written
articles about Vin Scully, and drank beer with Jerry Sands (former
Dodger top prospect) Baseball is my heart and the Dodgers are my blood.
