Now, he's sporting Dodger Blue to the chagrin of many in the desert, including third baseman and former teammate Josh Rojas, who let his feelings be known while mic'd up against L.A. on Thursday. “He's a traitor,” Rojas said jokingly as he watched Peralta step up to the plate.

    Dodger Stadium might be the third oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, but it certainly doesn't feel that way once you're inside.

This year will be no different, as Dodger Stadium will unveil new amenities and features for Opening Day 2023. When fans flock to Chavez Ravine on March 30th for the Dodgers Opening Day game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, they will be greeted by new state-of-the-art LED lights, displays, and a familiar face entering the ring of honor.
