The next homestand starts on Friday against the San Diego Padres. Below are some odds and ends for this upcoming homestand. Here are some important links:
For this homestand against the Padres only the Dodgers have made the Taqui Changas that includes flour tortillas stuffed with smoked pork carnitas, California pepper sauce, shredded cheddar, shaved lettuce, Pico de Gallo and Sour Cream. See it on the right. It can be found at Reserve Section 32.

Friday's game starts at 7:10 PM. Auto gates open at 4:40 PM, and stadium gates open at 5:10 PM. It is Friday Night Fireworks, so fans will be able to go down onto the field after the game to watch the spectacle. The night's theme will be a Hot August Night-Neil Diamond. Go here for more information on Friday Night Fireworks.

It is Union Night at Dodger Stadium. Folks who ordered a special ticket package will get an exclusive Union Night t-shirt. See that on the right. If not already sold out go here for information.

The Dodgers will also be honoring recent Second Chance Bootcamp graduates in a pregame ceremony. They are formerly incarcerated individuals who are being groomed for union apprenticeships and good-paying careers.

As a preview for Saturday's National Baseball Card Day events at local card shops a special four-card pack will be given to fans as an in-stadium giveaway on Friday. Go here for information. I am unsure exactly how they will be distributed, or how many packs will be available. The packs will feature only Dodger players. There is a ten card set needed to complete. Below is a checklist:
  • LAD-1 Clayton Kershaw
  • LAD-2 Adrian Gonzalez 
  • LAD-3 Kenley Jansen
  • LAD-4 Kenta Maeda 
  • LAD-5 Corey Seager 
  • LAD-6 Julio Urias 
  • LAD-7 Justin Turner 
  • LAD-8 Joc Pederson
  • LAD-9 Rich Hill
  • LAD-10 Mike Piazza 
UPDATE: I've just been told by the Dodgers that these Topps packs will be distributed at the gate as you enter the stadium.
