A minor league baseball team is dedicating a game to Jackie on Aug 23

The Ontario Tower Buzzers, the Los Angeles Dodgers' Single-A minor league affiliate in Ontario, California, announced they are partnering with Friends of Big Bear Valley for "Fly High, Jackie Night," a tribute game on Sunday, August 23 against the Inland Empire 66ers at ONT Field, first pitch 5:05 p.m. The team says 50% of proceeds from tickets bought through FOBBV's dedicated ticket link will be donated to the nonprofit in Jackie's memory. This is the team's own announcement, made in partnership with FOBBV; FOBBV has not put out a separate statement of its own about the game.

Where things stand today

Jackie died overnight into Monday, August 10, the Ojai Raptor Center says, after three weeks of intensive care; CDFW said she developed a blood clot in her wing and near one kidney in her final days, and the cause of her anemia is still not identified. Her remains are headed to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Eagle Repository. At the lake, Shadow holds the territory; FOBBV named the eagle spending growing time with him Kaydee on August 19, and the two have now roosted together six nights running, though FOBBV says nothing about a bond is confirmed. Sandy and Luna appear to have moved on.
