Per a press release from the Dodgers: This weekend, fans who purchased special Hello Kitty tickets through the sold out online offer will receive a limited edition Hello Kitty plush dressed in Dodger gear. Fans must bring their vouchers to the stadium during one of the three weekend games to pick up their Hello Kitty plush.

In addition, Hello Kitty and her friends My Melody®, Keroppi® and Chococat® will make special appearances at Dodger Stadium this weekend and fans in attendance at Fan Appreciation Day on Sunday, September 18 will receive a Hello Kitty Dodger-themed crown.

This strikes us as odd, but then again we aren't really into promotions. That said, we would like to open up the comments to suggested -- related? -- Target Field promotions. Whee!

Heading to the Wild media luncheon/press conference now. And you all say we don't like hockey.
