LOS ANGELES >> The Los Angeles Dodgers will conduct their first Hollywood Stars Game since 2009 before tonight’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers had held an annual Hollywood Stars Game from 1958, their first season in Los Angeles, through 2009, except in 1994 when it was canceled because of a strike by the Major League Baseball Players Association.
Participants included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart and Robin Williams.
The Dodgers had planned to conduct a Hollywood Stars Game in 2010, but the game was postponed “due to operational issues,” then canceled, according to an executive who has since left the organization.
