From: Dodger Stadium

Los Angeles, CA - The Dodgers will celebrate ten years reimagined at the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation Gala tonight before welcoming the Houston Astros to Dodger Stadium tomorrow. The three-game series includes two nationally televised broadcasts on FOX and ESPN as the Dodgers conclude their home game schedule for June. Tickets remain available for all three games and can be purchased at Dodgers.com/tickets.

Los Angeles will kick off the weekend by honoring its “Legendary Infield” prior to the 7:10 p.m. game with a special appearance by former greats first baseman Steve Garvey, shortstop Bill Russell, and third baseman Ron Cey. A special tribute video will recognize the 50th anniversary of the first game the group started together on June 23, 1973 as they embarked on a Major League record-setting 8 1/2 seasons played together. Fans who purchased a special ticket pack will receive a navy blue “Tap the Cap” hat, presented by Lilly, to increase awareness of insulin affordability solutions for people living with diabetes. When fans share a photo wearing the hat on social with the hashtag #TaptheCap, Lilly will make a contribution to American Diabetes Association summer camps. After the game, fans will enjoy Friday Night Fireworks, presented by Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Ahead of the 4:10 p.m. start on Sunday, the Viva Los Dodgers festival, presented by Spectrum and Budweiser, returns to Centerfield Plaza. Guests will enjoy a host of family-friendly activities including a performance by La Mera Candelaria, an on-stage interview with a Dodger personality, and various activations for all to enjoy.

All season long, LADF conducts it’s 50/50 raffle at every home game with increased buying opportunities, new kiosks, and added sellers.
