Dodgers’ World Series win benefits Catholic students
When the Dodgers recorded the final out of the 2024 World Series on Oct. 30 against the New York Yankees, it was an emotional victory for players, coaches, staff, and fans.
But there were other winners that night, namely Catholic school students.
Thanks to a friendly wager made between Los Angeles Archbishop José H. Gomez and New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Oct. 25 before Game 1 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium, more than $20,000 was raised using the site baseballunites.com, to benefit Catholic school students in both cities’ archdioceses.
