Valente Quintero aka LA Baseballhead is an LA superfan. For every Dodgers home game he and his wife go through the 1-3 hour long ritual of painting his whole head as a baseball. They decorate his head with temporary tattoos of special events or historic tributes for that game. On this particular day, I photographed Valente while a good friend was doing an interview with him about the history of Chavez Ravine and Dodger Stadium.
