Inaugural class of inductees to Oklahoma City Triple-A Hall of Fame to be unveiled during celebratory weekend in Bricktown;
Hat giveaway and other special promotions scheduled for six-game series
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma City Dodgers return home to open a six-game series packed with special promotions, including a 25th anniversary celebration of Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark Saturday, as the Dodgers play the Sacramento River Cats starting tonight through Sunday in Bricktown.
For Saturday’s 7:05 p.m. game, the Dodgers will wear commemorative city-themed jerseys and debut the organization’s new 405 area code caps on the field for the first time as part of a special night of celebration for Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, which opened in April 1998.
The team’s game-worn jerseys will be available for purchase through an online auction with proceeds benefitting the OKC Dodgers Baseball Foundation. A Dodgers hat giveaway for the first 1,000 fans will also take place for the April 29 game with gates opening at 6 p.m. City-themed team jerseys and 405 area code caps will also be available for purchase in the OKC Dodgers Team Store.
Justin Aaron, who made the Top 8 of Season 22 of “The Voice,” is scheduled to perform the national anthem Saturday alongside color guards from both the Oklahoma City Police and Fire Departments. A large American flag will also be displayed in the outfield during the national anthem.
Saturday is also the first Braum’s Friends and Family Night of the season, allowing groups of 10 or more people to receive a game ticket, OKC Dodgers hat and a Braum’s restaurant voucher that can be redeemed at any Oklahoma Braum’s location, starting at just $13 per person. Also, Braum’s Friends and Family 4-Packs, including four game tickets, four OKC Dodgers hats and four meal vouchers are available for Saturday’s game, starting at $46.99.
Additionally, the inaugural class of inductees to the new Oklahoma City Triple-A Hall of Fame will be unveiled throughout the weekend via the OKC Dodgers social media channels and also through in-game announcements Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This year’s class will include three individuals from the Bricktown era – one pitcher, one position player and one coach or contributor.
The new team Hall of Fame will honor not only those who have left their mark on the franchise during the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark era (since 1998), but since the genesis of the current franchise and Triple-A designation in 1962. Hall of Fame honorees will include former players, coaches and other key contributors to the franchise’s success.
A group of current Oklahoma City Dodgers front office members worked in conjunction with a five-person selection committee from outside of the organization to elect inductees. The selection committee includes media members, baseball historians and civic leaders.
