SANTA MONICA, CA — A sea of Dodger blue will overtake the Third Street Promenade on Thursday for a pep rally ahead of the World Series.

Here's a rundown of some of the planned highlights:

• Former Dodgers players Adrian Gonzalez, Eric Karros and Steve Garvey will be signing autographs and taking photos with fans.
• The main stage will he hosted by emcees Jacyln Ruiz and Melisser Myer — hosts of the “Talk Dodgers To Me” podcast — who will lead the crowd in Dodgers cheers.
• 360° fan photo booth
• Fans will be able to sign an 8-foot-tall baseball
• Performances from the Pali High School Cheer Squad
