The Dodgers Dream Foundation, in partnership with the LA84 Foundation and the Los Angeles City Department of Recreation and Parks, unveiled a new Dodgers Dreamfield this morning at Valley Plaza Park, North Hollywood.
In attendance were Dodger shortstop Dee Gordon and former Dodgers Bobby Castillo, Steve Yeager, Lee Lacy and Bill Russell.
