The Los Angeles Dodgers had their first off day of the month on Monday, but manager Dave Roberts, Bobby Miller, James Outman, Evan Phillips and Miguel Rojas were among those still on hand at Dodger Stadium for a special night with fans.
The 2023 Dodgers All-Access event was again emceed by SportsNet LA host John Hartung and and analyst Orel Hershiser, who have partnered together for all nine years it’s been held.
Dodgers All-Access is presented by the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) and Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission (LASEC). Proceeds from the event benefit both organizations.
“Dodgers All-Access has become one of the most memorable nights here at Dodger Stadium, on the iconic field where frankly, most of you know we’re on the heels of an amazing Fernandomania Weekend and eight-game winning streak,” LADF chief executive officer Nichol Whiteman said.
“Our team played right here last night and they’ll be here tomorrow night. So how special and how much more intimate does it get? I’m just glad this is the ninth year we’ve done this and I’m glad you all get to experience this behind-the-scenes look at Dodger Stadium.
“What makes this even more special is the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation is celebrating 10 Years Reimagined. What that means is 10 years ago, the Dodgers’ ownership group, led by Mark Walter, made a significant promise to Los Angeles that we would be an even more premier charity and that we would ultimately work to tackle some of L.A.’s most pressing problems.
“We deemed those to be homelessness, educational, healthcare and social justice. And tonight I’m happy to share with you that me and my team over the last 10 years have provided $53 million in grants and program investments throughout the Los Angeles community.”
After Whiteman championed LADF’s accomplishments, she turned the stage over to Hartung and Hershiser for the start of two panels. Though prior to that, Hershiser poked fun at some of his former teammates and recalled their successes together.
