The Los Angeles Dodgers will host a "Home For The Holidays" pet adoption event at Dodger Stadium Dec. 14, opening the opportunity for Dodger fans touring home a dog from a local animal shelter. The event is set to take place from 9:00 a.m. PT to 1:00 p.m. PT. The event is open to the public and will not require a ticket nor an RSVP.
On Dec. 3, 2007, longtime Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley earned the minimum amount of votes necessary for induction and was posthumously elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the veterans committee. The famed owner, who entered the Hall of Fame officially during an induction ceremony in 2008, oversaw the Dodgers organization from 1950 until his death in 1979 at the age of 75.
The Dodgers put tickets for potential World Series games on sale Tuesday, with the cheapest seat available for $881.95, according to an afternoon review of the team website.

World Series prices posted on the website Tuesday ranged as high as $1,510.05.
"I mean, when I hit it, I know it's a home run. I didn't even see where it landed. I was looking in the dugout trying to get the guys going, get back in the dugout, everyone is high-fiving. I knew I hit it good. I didn't know where it went. Eventually somebody tells me, you watch it on video where it goes. I was just more focused on our guys there. I don't care."
The evening provided more than 400 attendees with an opportunity to celebrate the 2024 World Series title and enjoy a behind-the-scenes experience at Chavez Ravine. Fans were treated to a buffet dinner with tables set up on the infield dirt, and had the chance to hit in the batting cage, pitch in the bullpen and have a photo turned into an custom baseball card, among other interactive experiences.
Star LAFC recruit Son Heung-Min is settling into life in Los Angeles brilliantly.

City crews have installed about 400 signs in downtown San Diego to inform drivers about new street parking-meter rates, which will increase significantly during events at Petco Park.
"I'm so blessed, me and my brother," Brady said this week, after accompanying his dad on the Dodgers' recent road trip in Milwaukee. "It's my favorite thing to do. Come to the stadium with my dad. Get better. And watch guys go about it."
Kershaw's historic game wasn't necessarily a vintage outing, but to his dearest fans, that only deepened the meaning. The Chicago White Sox didn't make it easy for Kershaw. He labored. He gave up runs. It seemed he might fall one short of the three strikeouts he needed. And still, he managed to finally become the 20th pitcher in MLB history to reach 3,000 strikeouts.
