At Dodgers Fan Fest this year, team President and CEO Stan Kasten made two big announcements. Understandably, one shined brighter than the other — ironically.
The greater announcement was that the Dodgers would be retiring Fernando Valenzuela’s No. 34 jersey this season. That ceremony is going to be held over the weekend of August 11-13, in what’s sure to be an incredible few days for the entire Dodgers organization and their fans.
However, that wasn’t the lone announcement of the day.
Before that big announcement, Kasten also announced that Dodger Stadium was getting new lights.
