Matt Kemp

27 Days

Day 1--For me there is no better way to start out this 27 day project than with a picture of my current favorite Los Angeles Dodger player, Oklahoma City product Matt Kemp, who just so happens to wear jersey #27.

This picture was taken on August 22nd, my birthday. It was early in a scoreless game and Kemp stepped up and hit a mammoth 449 foot home run OUT OF THE STADIUM to left field. He absolutely crushed the baseball. In this picture, you can see the ball approaching home plate as he has begun his swing. The ball literally got up and out of the park so fast that it was out of the stadium before I realized what had just happened.

Kemp is a young player with an extremely bright future ahead of him. Hopefully that entire future will be spent in Dodger blue.
