On Saturday and Sunday, fans can trade food and money for ballfield and clubhouse access.
Angel Stadium continues its food drive this weekend, giving fans a chance to hit, pitch and catch balls and visit the Angels clubhouse in exchange for donations of food or money for the poor.
For every three cans of food or $2 donated, people will get to stand at home plate and swing at balls thrown by a pitching machine. There is a 20-pitch maximum per person.
A donation of two canned food items or $1 will allow fans to throw pitches in the bullpen.
