FOOD
SOUVENIRS
Here's a quick look at some of the key souvenirs you can find at the stadium. First off, here is what the 2017 World Series program looks like, and to its right is a peek at the official World Series Baseball. BTW, you can see the official World Series patch at the top-right.
And here's the Dodger Stadium 2017 World Series pin, via Chris Creamer at sportslogos.net on twitter. To its right is the Dodger Stadium Game 1 (likely for the entire series) rally towel being given out to all fans.
Also, you can find a 2017 World Series drink cozy (on the top-right in photo below) and a business card holder (on the top-left in the photo below) at the stadium. I'm unsure if this is given out at the gate or found elsewhere at one of those kiosk found throughout the stadium. Pic on the below right via David Young on Twitter. Also, here's a look at the Dodgers 2017 World Series souvenir cup, on the bottom right. This pic via Ron Cervenka on twitter.
