The showdown between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Miami Marlins in the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) season took on a special tone when the Los Angeles team extended a unique invitation to Grupo Firme to kick off the second game.
On Tuesday, May 7th, Dodgers Stadium transformed into a spectacle of green, white, and red, emblems of the national flag, in honor of Mexican Heritage Night.
