Hollywood Stars Game: Dodgers Announce Lineup

The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced the lineup for its Hollywood Stars Game, to be held for the first time since 2009.

Popular “black-ish” star Anthony Anderson, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” star Clark Gregg, recently retired soccer star Landon Donovan and Basketball Hall of Fame member Lisa Leslie are on the roster.

Also included are actors Alan Thicke, Jaleel White, James Van Der Beek, Vivica A. Fox and Rob Riggle and Blink 182 bassist Mark Hoppus.

Talk show host Larry King and writer-producer-director Garry Marshall will manage the teams.

The Hollywood Stars Game will precede the Dodgers-St. Louis Cardinals game on June 6.

The Dodgers had played an annual Hollywood Stars Game from 1958, their first season in Los Angeles, through 2009, except in 1994 when it was canceled because of a strike by the Major League Baseball Players Association.

Participants included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart and Robin Williams.
