LOS ANGELES-- "What wouldn't I do for the greatest franchise in the history of baseball?" Gordo cheerfully replied when asked why he quit his high paying executive job to become a vendor at Dodger Stadium. As long as I can remember, Dodgers Stadium is the place where I'm the happiest."

Gordo, nee Gordon, also goes by Gordo LaSorta, because of his love of former Dodgers Manager, Tommy Lasorda. He boasts twelve Dodgers tattoos including a number 42 on the back of his neck. "I just wanted to pay tribute to the rich history of this, the greatest of all teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers."

Gordo's favorite tattoo is his "Giants Suck" tramp stamp. He's been known to get the entire stadium chanting "Giants Suck!" by flashing this provacatively placed piece of fan art.

Sometimes, Gordo forgets to sell his Dodgers souvenirs, because he is so emotionally invested in the success of the Dodgers. "Seeing the Dodgers win is the greatest experience in my life." Gordo muses with a wistful look in his eye.

So if he forgets to sell the Dodgers memorabila, how does he maintain his rank as the Dodgers memorabila sellingest vendor at the Stadium? He buys it himself! "I do." said Gordo. "I buy it. I take it home and play with it. And love it."

His infectious enthusiasm makes him a fan favorite. "It just wouldn't be the same with out Gordo!" gushes Linda Torres, a season ticket holder. "He thinks blue." Adds her husband wryly.

Gordo is pretty tight lipped about his former life in corporate America, but Dodgers fans don't care. Everyone at Chavez Ravine is just delighted Gordo decided to follow his heart and turn his love of the Dodgers into a career.

Go Blue! Go Gordo!
