Cars snaked the roadways around Chavez Ravine and stadium parking lots were filling up quickly two hours before the Los Angeles Dodgers hosted the Cincinnati Reds in a city known for fans showing up late and leaving early.

The giveaway drew a sellout crowd of 53,527 — the largest in the majors this season.
