The All-Star Game fan festival opened Saturday at the Los Angeles Convention Center, billed by organizers as a blend of baseball, softball, music, food, technology and fashion with the opportunity to meet Hall of Famers, all-stars, Olympians and broadcasters.
Capital One Play Ball Park will include batting cages, panel discussions, pitching tunnels, gaming stations from MLB The Show 22, mascot home run derbies, performance training high energy drills, clinics, autograph sessions, photo opportunities, exhibits and displays from the Baseball Hall of Fame and Negro Leagues Museum.
Juan Marichal and Vladimir Guerrero Sr. are among the nine Hall of Famers set to attend, along with more than a dozen former Dodgers, including Fernando Valenzuela, Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Reggie Smith, Manny Mota, Charlie Hough and Shawn Green. Each day will feature a theme and free giveaway. Kids Weekend is the theme Saturday and Sunday and Heritage Day is Monday's theme. Tuesday will be Legacy Day dedicated to Jackie and Rachel Robinson, commemorating the 75th anniversary of his breaking baseball's color barrier and coinciding with Rachel Robinson's 100th birthday.
