Major League Baseball is tuning up the ballparks for a fresh round of Jerry Garcia Tribute Nights, honoring what would have been the beloved guitarist’s 83rd birthday with music‑infused match‑ups, fan giveaways, and a charitable twist. This year’s celebration features twin dates on the diamond:
Thursday, August 8 – Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY
Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees
Fans who purchase the Special Event Ticket Package will take home an exclusive Jerry Garcia bobblehead, complete with rose‑tinted specs and a miniature guitar. Packages are on sale now at mlb.com/yankees/tickets/events.
Thursday, August 15 – Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati, OH
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cincinnati Reds
Special‑package buyers will receive a limited‑edition tie‑dye Jerry/Reds T‑shirt, a vibrant mash‑up of psychedelic swirl and Reds scarlet. Packages are available at mlb.com/reds/tickets/specials/ticket-packages/garcia.
A portion of every Tribute Night ticket benefits the Rex Foundation, the nonprofit founded by members of the Grateful Dead to support grassroots arts, environmental, and social‑service projects. By spending an evening at the ballpark, fans can soak in America’s favorite pastime, celebrate Jerry’s enduring legacy, and directly bolster the Rex Foundation’s good work—all in one swing.
