In honor of his MVP-caliber season, the Dodgers will give away a Cody Bellinger bobblehead at tomorrow’s game, marking the club’s first-ever Postseason bobblehead. The special edition bobblehead depicts Bellinger in his home run trot and will be available in both his home white uniform and road grays. The first 40,000 fans in attendance will receive either the white or gray version of the bobblehead, depending on what is available at their point of entry.
After setting a single-season franchise attendance record this year, the Dodgers will honor longtime season ticket members with ceremonial first pitches during the NLDS. Lorraine Bradley, whose family – including her late father former Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley – has held season tickets since 1958, will throw tomorrow’s ceremonial first pitch. Friday’s honors will go to Chuck Berney, who is celebrating his 50th anniversary as a Dodger season ticket member.
Thursday’s national anthem will be performed by American blues and Southern soul singer Charles Jones and nine-year-old Madison Baez will sing the anthem on Friday.
