Alumni Dodger Night August 19- More Dodger game opportunities

Well, first, The Lincoln High School Alumni Association's Dodger Night on Wednesday, August 19th is sold out. Well over 100 tickets were sold and that should be a good game if the Dodgers continue as they have been. Another "plus" for that game is that it is also "Matt Kemp Bobblehead Doll Night," by the way. There was some speculation earlier in the year before the selection was made for the Bobblehead Doll that it would be Vin Scully, Dodger announcer supreme who has been broadcasting Dodger games since they were in Brooklyn and Chavez Ravine was just a sleepy little neighbohood behind the Armory. That, for my two cents, would have been really tops as a selection, even better than a player selection, but this is what was finally decided.

Did you miss the original Manny Bobble head doll night? Do you crave a Manny Bobblehead Doll, or maybe two? This announcement (reproduced below, in part) may just be for you. http://cbs2.com/local/dodgers.manny.ramirez.2.1112985.html , Aug 3, 2009,

"Dodgers Adding Another Manny Bobblehead Night"

The new bobblehead will be compliments of San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino. In conjunction with the announcement, the Dodgers are offering a limited number of Manny Bobblehead Packs in which fans can purchase a four-game ticket package that includes both bobbleheads featuring the Dodgers' left fielder.

For just $64, fans will receive the initial Manny Ramirez bobblehead from July 22, a
reserved level ticket to the Sept. 16 game where they'll receive the Curtain Call Bobblehead, and one reserved level ticket to the Dodger games on Aug. 23 vs. Chicago, Sept. 6 vs. San Diego, and Sept. 20 vs. San Francisco. Seating is also available in the Lower Reserve for $80 and Field Box seats for $120 each.


Here's a chance for fans to get that doll and more that I found on the Dodgers web site for some Dodger ticket deals: http://www.mlb.com/la/ticketing/specials.jsp#mannywood , with some key excerpts below-

From the Dodger website, here's the breakdown for that Manny Ramirez Bobblehead Doll package:

• (1) Manny Ramirez Bobblehead (originally distributed on 7/22/09)
• (1) Ticket to Sept 16th game vs PIT (First 50,000 fans to receive Manny's Curtain Call Bobblehead)
• (1) Ticket to the following games:
• Sunday, August 23rd vs CHC, 1:10PM
• Sunday, September 6th vs SD, TBA
• Sunday, September 20th vs SF, 1:10PM

Prices per package:
• Field Box -- $120
• Lower Reserve -- $80
• Reserve -- $64

And while I'm on the site, here's something for the many Military personnel that are around:

And the other thing here that might be of interest is for seniors or kids who get a deal on prices, with the "catch," if you want to call it that, is that these are for same day games, beginning 90 minutes before the game and it useful except for the chance you have a sell-out game.
