THE FIELD

There are 9 innings in a baseball game. Each team gets a turn to bat in half of the inning, while the other team is out in the field. The visiting team is first to bat while the home team takes the field and starts the game with the first pitch. Each team is allowed three outs in their half of an inning.

Common Baseball TermsStrike Zone An area above the plate that pitchers are trying to throw the ball into. Think of it like an invisible target above the plate that the pitcher is trying to pitch to.

Ballpark BeatsDid you know that Dodger Stadium is the only ballpark that plays Take Me Out to the Ballgame twice in a row?

Your turn! Write a new verse to Take Me Out to the Ballgame:

_________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________

Take me out to the ballgame

Take me out with the crowd

Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack

I don’t care if I never get back

So it’s root, root, root, for the home team

If they don’t win, it’s a shame

It’s one, two, three strikes you’re out

At the old ballgame

Take me out to the ballgame

Take me out with the crowd

Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack

And I don’t care if I never get back

It’s root, root, root, for the home team

If they don't win, it's a shame

It’s one, two, three strikes you’re out

At the old ballgame

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Dodgers History

• The team was once called the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, because so many of their players got married!

• In 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first player in

the 20th century to break the baseball color barrier.

• The Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958. Before Dodger Stadium was built, they played in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

• Dodger Stadium opened in 1962.

• The Dodgers have won the World Series six times: 1955, 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981, 1988

LA ReadsLA Reads is a joint initiative with the LADF that inspires thousands of children to read year-round. An estimated 60% of kids in Los Angeles do not meet reading performance standards. Our goal is to change that by using the Dodgers’ historic brand to motivate young people to read and help them build a life-long love for it. Alongside the Library Foundation of Los Angeles and Los Angeles city and county libraries, kids are invited to local reading events with Dodger coaches, players, spouses, or alumni. During baseball season, students can track the time they spend reading in our “Dodgers Reading Champions” challenge. In 2019, kids read a total of 1.5 million minutes and more than 10,000 youth attended reading events across the Greater Los Angeles area. Join the reading challenge today at dodgers.com/lareads
