LOS ANGELES -- This weekend, the Dodgers' month-long run of power swinging concluded with their biggest impact -- one that was made off the diamond and in the community.
The Dodgers were one of 15 Major League clubs to host a series of youth-focused activities in June as part of the league-wide Play Ball Weekend initiative. It's the third consecutive year MLB has put together youth-focused activities aimed at engaging youngsters and celebrating baseball and softball participation.
The Dodgers organization did its part this weekend. The club hosted 180 elementary-aged kids for a Play Ball clinic in conjunction with the Los Angeles Police Department.
