There’s a #9 on the pitcher’s mound at Seahawk Stadium.
It’s a salute to Sean Denhart, a proud Redondo local who spent some of his most treasured moments there, on that diamond. He died suddenly of heart failure on Dec. 30, two months after the Dodgers won the World Series. He was 32 years old.

As he is well known for chatting with his customers and making them feel at home, I knew he would have an answer when asked about how confident they are about dining in public again. He took a moment to consider before responding.
