The mother of Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw died on Saturday, his wife announced over the weekend at the unveiling of two youth baseball fields in Inglewood, California. Ellen Kershaw shared the news of Marianne Tombaugh’s passing at the unveiling of two Dodgers Dreamfields over the weekend. “Clayton grew up with a baseball in his hand ready to play a game in a sandlot or on a ballfield just like this one on a moment’s notice,” she said during the dedication. The two fields, funded in part by Kershaw’s charity, Kershaw’s Challenge, are a part of the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation’s Dodgers Dreamfields program, which provides neighborhoods across L.A. with updated fields. According to the team website, the goal is to have 75 fields completed by 2033 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the team’s move to Los Angeles.
