Star Wars Night at Angel Stadium - 2019

Tonight was Star Wars Night at Angel Stadium, and R2 was there with Gordon Tarpley as C-3PO, as were many members of the various Star Wars costuming clubs.





This year's Star Wars Rally Monkey had a Chewbacca theme.



Once the characters were suited up (and there were a lot of them), around 5:00pm we headed out to greet the arriving crowd and pose for pictures in the stadium's Music Garden.










Around 6:30pm, R2 and C-3PO were among a few of the characters selected to go down to the field to walk the warning as the t-shirt canons fired souvenirs to the fans.





We wrapped up on the field and headed back to the changing room for a break. At the end of the third inning, the characters came back out for the Steal-a-Base contest, where a young fan races along the warning track to grab a spare base, and get back in under 30 seconds.

We staged along side the bullpen near the left field foul pole.



The 3rd inning ended, and we went out for the contest.



Did he make it? Yes, with plenty of time to spare! He and his mom got a pic with the characters in the tunnel afterward.



And with that, we were done for the night. R2's record with the Angles is now 1-4. :( He seems to like the Dodgers better.

I always love doing MLB games, and I hope to do this again next year.
