Major League Baseball has formally renamed Historic Dodgertown to the Jackie Robinson Training Complex. The facility will serve as a year-round hub of amateur development initiatives and events focused on diversifying and strengthening the talent pipelines of baseball and softball.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced the change during a press conference that was attended by former Los Angeles Dodgers owner and current Dodgertown chairman Peter O’Malley, as well as members of the Robinson Family, including Rachel, Sharon and David – Jackie’s wife, daughter and son, respectively.
“The Jackie Robinson Training Complex will honor the history and legacy of Dodgertown by fostering the development of the diverse collection of young men and women who are the future of our game,” Manfred said.
