The men and women of the Los Angeles Fire Department were deeply humbled to have the largest baseball crowd in history observe a moment of silence in honor of their fallen colleague Brent Lovrien, when the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the Boston Red Sox at a historic exhibition game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on March 29, 2008.
