Anyone who is a fan of Billy Joel – and let’s be honest here, who isn’t – is well aware of his love of baseball, albeit as a Mets fan and in spite of the fact that he was born in the Bronx. So when the Dodgers announced on Thursday that the popular 67-year-old entertainer has included Dodger Stadium in his 2017 tour, Southern California Billy Joel fans were ecstatic.

The concert will take place at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, May 13, 2017 while the team is in Colorado for a four-game series against the Rockies at Coors Field, follow by a three-game series against the Hated Ones at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
