Former Dodger Manny Mota throws out the first pitch prior to the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals at Dodger Stadium on April 29, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.
Mota, 85, said he couldn’t imagine being part of the Dodger organization 41 years after his final major league at-bat.His son, Dodger broadcaster José Mota, emceed the ceremony attended by Hall of Fame broadcaster Jaime Jarrín, Orel Hershiser, Steve Garvey, Peter O’Malley, and Adrián Beltré, among others.
Mota’s coaching career spanned four decades, during which he often worked as a Spanish-language broadcaster for the Dodgers and for Fox Deportes. Mota also worked as a Dodgers alumni ambassador and made many appearances with the Dodgers’ community relations department ― his favorite post-retirement role with the club.
