Happy Sesame Street Day, L.A.
With a little help from Big Bird, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti declared Friday to be Sesame Street Day in L.A.
On the field of Dodger Stadium Friday morning, the event capped off a summer road trip for the yellow-feathered Muppet and Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind “Sesame Street.” The beloved children’s TV program is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and its reach has been vast, including for the mayor.“I watched ‘Sesame Street’ every day as a kid,” Garcetti told The Times. “It was my third parent.
Always up for a teachable moment, Big Bird took some time to teach kids about the essence of baseball: “Remember that baseball is all about team work and having fun. Oh, and having lots of sunflower seeds.”“So many of us grew up [with you]. You’re our hero, we look up to you — literally we look up to you,” Garcetti commented to Big Bird, who stands at more than 8 feet tall.
The Count had his finest Dodgers jersey on as he greeted Garcetti and the children. “I do not mean to interrupt, I just wanted to come out to say have a marvelous time,” said the Count.
