The work that Los Angeles Dodgers players do in the community cannot be stated enough, and that was again the case on a recent off night at Dodger Stadium when Yasiel Puig hosted his second annual Celebrity Poker Tournament benefitting his Wild Horse Children’s Foundation.
The proceeds from this year’s event will go toward the refurbishment of fields and the creation of a community facility at Pioneer Park in partnership with the City of San Fernando, something that is very close to Puig’s heart.
“Yasiel had a really bad time when he was in Cuba, to be able to play baseball growing up was very difficult for him, he didn’t have gloves, he had to share baseballs,” Lisette Carnet, executive director of the Wild Horse Foundation, said.
