Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
Dodgers 65-52, 2nd place in the N.L. West, 1/2 game behind the Giants
Phillies 56-63, 4th place in the N.L. East, 15 games behind the Nationals
Dodgers Probables: Kenta Maeda (11-7, 3.31), Scott Kazmir (9-6, 4.44), Bud Norris (3-2, 4.34)
Phillies Probables: Vince Velasquez (8-4, 3.94), Jake Thompson (1-1, 8.68), Jared Eickhoff (8-12, 3.82)
At the Ballpark: The big event with this series is the return of former Phillie (and a Phillies Room favorite) Chase Utley. Utley will be entering the field from the visitor's dugout at Citizens Bank Park for the first time.
Tonight is also Beatles Night at the ballpark, and fans with a special theme ticket will receive a special Beatles fleece blanket (which will not be needed for this game). The special night pays tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Beatles playing a concert at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia on August 16, 1966.
There's a post-game concert on Thursday night featuring country singer Chase Rice.

1970 Topps #446 |
The Phillies acquired him in a trade with the Angels in August 1973, and his Phillies career spanned just 59 games over two seasons in which he hit .240 with three home runs. The Phils sold Grabarkewitz to the Cubs in July 1974, but not before he'd appear on three baseball card related releases with the club - 1974 Topps, 1974 Topps Stamps and the 1974 Phillies Photocards set.
And I missed my chance to pay tribute to this original card with the 2016 Chachi card for Brett Oberholtzer. I clearly should have listed the current Angels pitcher's name as "B. Oberholtzer" on the front of his card.
