Fanatics’ Post

This week, Fanatics, Make-A-Wish America, and the Los Angeles Dodgers teamed up for the second year to create an incredible wish event for seven kids and their families at Dodger Stadium. Over the course of two days, the group participated in a trivia game hosted by local hobby shop, Burbank Sportscards, and went on a private tour of Dodger stadium that culminated in the clubhouse, where each wish kid was presented their own locker, customized Dodgers jerseys and team merchandise, thanks to Fanatics. Leading up to the Athletics vs. Dodgers game, the kids participated in an impactful Q&A session with Joe Davis, Eric Karros, and Kirsten Watson from the Dodgers live broadcast team, and Dodgers Manager, Dave Roberts, presented each wish kid their own contract to become a Dodger for the Day. This special honor granted them exclusive on-field access, where they played catch with players like Ben Casparius, Anthony Banda, Tony Gonsolin, Jack Dreyer, and Matt Sauer, as well as watched batting practice. To top it off, each child threw out a ceremonial first pitch alongside Dodgers stars Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Kike Hernández, Michael Conforto, Miguel Rojas, and Clayton Kershaw before settling into their seats to enjoy the game. Special thank you to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Make-A-Wish for their partnership in making these wishes come true! #officialsportspartner #onefanatics #makeawish #mlb
