Episode Details

Orel Hershiser, the iconic Dodger pitcher turned broadcaster, just earned his Hollywood Walk of Fame star — the 2,853rd ever awarded, in the new sports entertainment category. Only three former MLB players have received this honor before him. Hershiser, a 17th-round draft pick who rose to legendary status, credits his success to the entire Dodgers organization, saying if he could add one word to his star, it’d be “Dodger.” Former teammates like Clayton Kershaw and Dave Roberts hailed him as a mentor and force multiplier, forever remembered for his grit and the nickname “The Bulldog” given by Tommy Lasorda. His 1988 season remains unmatched — sweeping Cy Young, LCS MVP, and World Series MVP while setting a record for consecutive scoreless innings. Now, with this star, Hershiser’s legacy is etched not just in baseball history, but in Hollywood too.
