John Fabris is the Deputy Editor of the Orange County (California) Register.  His April 6, 2012 article entitled, “Dad’s top 20 tips for taking kids to a Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball game” are tips any Dad can use this summer when taking their kids to experience America’s pastime, not just an Angels game.  I think you will agree.
