GIANTS WELCOME DODGERS AND PADRES TO TOWN

**SATURDAY, SEPT. 10TH GAME TIME HAS BEEN CHANGED TO 6:05 P.M.**

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. - The World Champion San Francisco Giants return to AT&T Park for a six-game homestand against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Sept. 9-11 and the San Diego Padres, Sept. 12-14.

On Friday, September 9, the Giants will present the prestigious Willie Mac Award. The Willie Mac Award was established in 1980 and is given to the Giants player who best exemplifies the spirit and leadership consistently shown by Willie McCovey throughout his career. Several previous Willie Mac award winners will be in attendance for the pre-game ceremony, including Mike Krukow, Shawon Dunston, JT Snow, Mark Gardner, Matt Cain and last year’s winner Andres Torres.

Saturday, September 10, is the 7th Annual Fiesta Gigantes presented by Coors Light. The event begins at 3 p.m. outside the Lefty O’Doul Gate and will last until 6 p.m. Poderoso Band, Bautista Band and Balet Folklorico will be on-site performing. Also, that night the Giants will be donning their Spanish Gigantes jerseys.

In addition, on Saturday the first 20,000 fans will receive Giants Trading Cards presented by Emerald Nuts. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. with gates opening at 4:05 p.m. Following that night’s game, the Giants Community Fund’s year-end Sports Memorabilia Auction will take place. Over 50 auction items will be up for bid in the silent auction at the Community Clubhouse behind home plate and there will be a live auction on top of the Giants dugout.

On Sunday, September 11, the Giants will remember and honor those who lost their lives a decade ago to the tragic and evil terrorist attacks on America. In a pre-game ceremony and throughout the game, fans will be asked to remember 9-11. As fans enter the gates, they will be given an 8x10 card with the American Flag on one side and on the other side it will list a name of one of the men, women or children who died that day. It will be a day of tribute and remembrance.

The Giants wrap up their homestand with a three-game set against the San Diego Padres, September 12-14. Monday, September 12, is the Giants Food Drive presented by Visa. Fans are encouraged to bring a non-perishable item to the park.

Filipino Heritage Night, presented by LIGO, is returning to AT&T Park on Tuesday, September 13. Filipino Heritage Night 2 features pre-game cultural entertainment from local Filipino performance groups, Filipino Heritage sections reserved for special event ticket holders, and a Giants-themed messenger bag. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Filipino charities.

In addition, Tuesday is Say Hey Tuesday as CSN will host Chronicle Live from Willie Mays Plaza. Fans are invited to come out early and watch their favorite sports analysts.
