May 29th: El Centro Imperials vs. Orange County Flyers (Gary Carter & Darrell Evans)
July 1st: El Centro Imperials vs. St. George Roadrunners (Cory Snyder and Fireworks)
August 3rd: El Centro Imperials vs. Long Beach Armada (Steve Yeager)

Looks like it's just the Yuma Scorpions wearing retro EC Imperials uniforms and they'll only play these 5 games at Stark Field.
Is this part of the City of El Centro 100th Anniversary? |

| Just in case none of you knew I'm a big Dodger fan, i've been one for many years. I remember as a child growing up cursing at the television everytime Mike Marshall struck out swinging on a pitch in the dirt. |

I found out a little while ago that Mike Marshall was at the EC B&B at noon giving out autographs.
Did you get to curse him in person? |

You're thinking of Rollie Fingers, who never played for the Dodgers. |
