Dodger Day set for June 21

Once again, the Institute is taking the entire community out to the ball game. The second annual Caltech-JPL Dodger Day will take place this year on Saturday, June 21, when the boys in blue face off against the 2002 world champion Anaheim Angels.

For just $8 per person, Caltech and JPL community members, their families, and friends can enjoy a full day of activities. A special pregame carnival tailored to kids will begin at 11 a.m., with wall climbing, slides, clowns, and face painting. When the game starts at 1:10 p.m., Institute spectators will enjoy having the entire right-field pavilion to themselves.

According to Dlorah Gonzales of Human Resources, “Hundreds of Caltech and JPL folks had a great time last year, and I heard a lot of comments about how people enjoyed the day.” This year, about 3,300 tickets will be available, and the first 2,300 tickets sold will include a voucher for a free Dodger cap, courtesy of the Caltech Credit Union, which is cosponsoring the event.

Tickets will go on sale on April 14 at the Public Events ticket office, the Tech Express, the Caltech Bookstore, and Human Resources; at the JPL store and the Credit Union office at JPL; and at the main Caltech Credit Union office, 528 Foothill Boulevard, La Cañada Flintridge.
