In partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, Spectrum SportsNet LA organized and hosted boys and girls from the South Bay region for a baseball clinic that was led by Ned Colletti, Nomar Garciaparra, Jerry Hairston Jr., and John Hartung.
Children were provided with t-shirts, caps and gloves, and rotated between four stations — hitting, throwing, infielding and baserunning — while learning the fundamentals at each stop. The quartet of instructors were supported by members of the Garciaparra Baseball Group.
While the morning centered around teaching the proper techniques of the sport, it was clear Garciaparra, Hairston and company wanted to emphasize the bigger picture.
