The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) and Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission (LASEC) partnered to host the 11th annual Dodgers All-Access event at Dodger Stadium on Thursday.

The evening provided more than 400 attendees with an opportunity to celebrate the 2024 World Series title and enjoy a behind-the-scenes experience at Chavez Ravine.

Fans were treated to a buffet dinner with tables set up on the infield dirt, and had the chance to hit in the batting cage, pitch in the bullpen and have a photo turned into an custom baseball card, among other interactive experiences.

SportsNet LA host John Hartung was emcee of the event, which also saw Dodgers part-owner Magic Johnson, manager Dave Roberts, Tyler Glasnow, Jack Dreyer, Justin Dean, Steve Garvey, Mickey Hatcher, Jaime Jarrín, Rick Monday, Bill Russell and Dennis Powell in attendance.

“Dodgers All-Access is more than baseball; it’s about two great organizations coming together to create unforgettable experiences while creating lasting impact for Los Angeles,” Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation CEO Nichol Whiteman said in a statement.

“This event offers a unique Dodger Stadium experience while fueling our work to tackle the city’s most pressing problems. We are grateful to LASEC for its partnership and to supporters who share our vision of a city where every Angeleno has the opportunity to thrive.”

Net proceeds from 2025 Dodgers All-Access will be split between LADF and LASEC.

Dodgers All-Access panels

Johnson delighted fans as he answered questions about the Dodgers and Los Angeles Lakers for 30 minutes. He reflected on first attending a game at Dodger Stadium, getting to meet Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda, and Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam against the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the World Series.

Johnson additionally shared some of his favorite stories about Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and recalled getting to play alongside Larry Bird and Michael Jordan on the Dream Team for the 1992 Olympics.

Following Johnson was Hartung hosting a panel with Roberts and Glasnow. Both spoke about the team’s current trajectory and looking forward to postseason baseball.

Glasnow in particularly is excited to pitch in October as a right elbow injury prevented him from contributing to the Dodgers’ World Series run last year.
