The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today they will conduct the third annual LGBT Night at Dodger Stadium June 19.
Reality television personality Lisa Vanderpump will throw a special ceremonial first pitch before the game against the World Series champion San Francisco Giants.
Major League Baseball’s Ambassador of Inclusion Billy Bean, who played 59 games for the Dodgers in 1989, and recording artist Lance Bass will also be a part of LGBT Night. County singer Ty Herndon will sing the national anthem.
The Dodgers will welcome athletes from the Greater Los Angeles Softball Association, a gay and lesbian slow-pitch softball league committed to providing an opportunity for both gay and non-gay participants to compete in an environment conducive to the gay community.
The Dodgers will also recognize members of the Varsity Gay League, California’s largest LGBTQ recreational sports league, which conducts sports leagues, tournaments, outside-the-box competitions and gaming activities throughout the year.
A special ticket package that includes a discounted ticket and a Dodger LGBT Night T-shirt is available for purchase at dodgers.com/LGBT.
