By Jon Weisman

If a Justin Turner Chia Pet and a Vin Scully T-shirt don’t sound like two of the greatest promotions ever, I might be speaking to the wrong crowd.

But for the right-thinking people among you, this April 30 giveaway is one of many highlights of the Dodgers’ 2016 preliminary promotion schedule.

New giveaways for next year also include a neck pillow, license plate frame, Father’s Day Dodger boxers, kids’ locker nameplate and socks.

New manager Dave Roberts, Don Newcombe, Dusty Baker and Clayton Kershaw will be among 2016’s 10 bobbleheads, along with one saluting 1981 World Series tri-Most Valuable Players Ron Cey, Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager.

In addition, the 10-date Collectors Pin Series will spotlight on the Dodgers’ 10 retired numbers, and Magic Johnson takes over for Tommy Lasorda as this year’s giveaway gnome.

The Dodgers are also announcing two new mini-plan options for 2016 with tickets starting at $19 per game. A preset 21-game Collectors Plan offers Opening Day, all 10 bobblehead giveaways, all 10 retired number collectible pins and Jackie Robinson Day. A 30-game Flex Plan allows for any 2016 home game, including Opening Day. All mini plans are on sale now at dodgers.com/miniplans.

Below, you can see an informal list of planned 2016 promotions. Please note that:

Giveaways are limited to 40,000 units per game, unless otherwise noted.
Kids giveaways are for the first 15,000 ticketed kids 14 & under in attendance.
Only one giveaway item per person will be given to the bearer of the ticket upon entering the stadium.

In addition to the usual Friday Night Fireworks that will kick off the Dodgers’ next homestand, Dodger Stadium will host a special 4th of July Fireworks show Saturday.

So as if you needed another reason to attend, with Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke taking the mound for those two games, there you go.

Saturday’s fireworks show will begin at approximately 8:45 p.m. and is presented by Cirque du Solieil (which will bring its upcoming touring show, “KURIOS — Cabinet of Curiosities” to Dodger Stadium on December 10).

With the Dodgers’ game against the Mets on Saturday beginning at 4:15 p.m., there will be a musical program featuring the USO Show Troupe between the end of the game and the start of the fireworks.

The series with the Mets concludes Sunday with a double dose of pregame activity: Photo Day, when fans can take photos of their favorite Dodgers on the field prior to the game, and Viva Los Dodgers (presented by State Farm and Time Warner Cable), located at the historic 76 station. Viva begins at 11 a.m. and will feature photos with Dodger broadcaster Fernando Valenzuela.
