Dodgers to host military families for BP

Dodgers special advisor and Korean War veteran Don Newcombe will be joined by team alumni Billy Ashley, Al Downing and Roy Gleason to welcome the pre-selected invitees, who will be able to pitch off the bullpen mound, hit in the batting cage and take a tour of the ballpark.

The winner of a hitting contest will be recognized as the Veteran of the Game on April 12, 2016, when the Dodgers play Arizona in their home opener.

The Dodgers honor military personnel and veterans year-round with initiatives including the Military Hero of the Game on-field recognition that takes place during each home game.
