As a lad I remember sitting in the car with my folks and making note of every Union 76 station. When one came into view I'd yelp out, "do we need gas? Let's get some gas." I'm sure I got to be quite annoying, but a young Dodger fan has got to do what he's got to do. After all, I needed that new Dodger giveaway to add to my growing collection.

As you know, the 80's (the principal time of my youth) was filled with Dodger memorabilia from that gas station. They offered a series of pins during the later half of the decade and a highly attractive player portrait set created by noted artist Nicholas Volpe.
