Fans can play at Dodger Stadium, for a price

If you’ve got $495 to spare, the Dodgers are welcoming a limited number of fans to take batting practice on the field, throw in the bullpen, run the bases, tour the clubhouse and see their name on the scoreboard.

The event is scheduled for the evening of June 15, an off day for the club. Current Dodgers Russell Martin and Jamie Hoffmann will take part along with retired Dodgers Steve Garvey and Ron Cey.

The cost is much steeper than for a basic Dodger Stadium experience (cheap seats run about $10 a game). On the other hand, the Dugout Club can cost $500-650 a game and they have a look-but-don’t-touch policy when it comes to batting practice.

More information is available on the team website.
