May 27th, 2022

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers will kickoff a week-long homestand next week as they face the Pittsburgh Pirates (May 30 – June 1) and New York Mets (June 2 – 5). Tickets remain available for all games at Dodgers.com/tickets.

The Pirates will make their only trip to Dodger Stadium this season for three games starting Monday, May 30, as both teams will partake in Military Appreciation Night by wearing camouflage hats on the field. Fans can wear a similar hat and honor service members by purchasing a special ticket pack. The following night, Taco Tuesday, presented by Delta Air Lines, makes its return as the team celebrates Julio Urías bobblehead night, presented by Yaamava’ Resort and Casino at San Manuel. The first 40,000 fans in attendance will receive a one-of-a-kind bobblehead of Urías outfitted in the Los Dodgers blue jersey. Additionally, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation and Acts Inspired by Mookie are partnering on the “50 Feeds LA” campaign to fundraise to provide up to 400,000 meals to youth and families in South Los Angeles. Fans can support by purchasing a 50/50 raffle ticket or bidding on autographed memorabilia and experiences on Dodgers.com/Auctions. Firefighter Appreciation Night will wrap up the three-game set on Wednesday, June 1 at 5:10 p.m. and those who purchase a special ticket pack will receive a navy blue hat adorned with a Firefighter Appreciation Night patch.

The Dodgers will welcome the New York Mets to town for a four-game series starting on Thursday, June 2, where fans in attendance will collect a Justin Turner replica jersey, presented by Golden Road Brewing. On Friday, the Dodgers will take the field in historic fashion as the team will wear custom on-field pride caps for the first time in franchise history during the ninth annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night, presented by Blue Shield of California. The special caps will be sold at the Top of the Park and the Left Field Team stores while supplies last. Fans who purchase a special ticket pack will receive a commemorative LGBTQ+ Dodger game jersey. Unique activations include specialty Pride drinks served in the pavilion bars and photo opportunities in the Centerfield Plaza along with appearances by Billy Bean, Dale Scott, Fallon Fox, Gigi Gorgeous, Nats Getty, and Jojo Siwa during pregame ceremonies. Additionally, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation will donate 50% of the proceeds of the 50/50 raffle to the Los Angeles LGBT Center, the world’s largest provider of programs and services for LGBT individuals. Friday Night Fireworks, presented by UCLA Health, will be accompanied by DJ Bowie Jane after the game. The entire night will serve as the official LA Pride kickoff party.

Recently elected Hall-of-Famer Gil Hodges will be celebrated on Saturday, as the Dodgers are set to retire his jersey No. 14. This will be the first number the club has retired since 1998, when the organization retired No. 20 for Don Sutton. Hodges’ stellar career spanned 18 years, 16 with the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, and included seven All-Star team nominations and three Gold Glove awards. The organization will honor Hodges with a host of pre-game recognitions and a special appearance by the late great’s family. Ticketed fans will receive a commemorative Gil Hodges Hall of Fame bobblehead, presented by Bank of America, ahead of the 7:10 p.m. start. The homestand will finish on Sunday afternoon and Kids Run the Bases, presented by Nike, will happen after the conclusion of the 1:10 p.m. matinee.

Fans can continue supporting the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation by purchasing a 50/50 raffle ticket or a $10 t-shirt or a Mystery Baseball Bag, while supplies last, at the Foundation’s Homebase in centerfield. All proceeds will benefit the Foundation's mission to improve education, health care, homelessness, and social justice for all Angelenos.
