A Bulldog in Business: How Moving into the Booth Opened Other Doors for Dodger Great Orel Hershiser
Developed over time first seen 3 hours ago
Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher and broadcaster Orel Hershiser says his continuing role in the commentary booth has helped keep him publicly relevant and opened business opportunities beyond baseball. He has invested in automotive ventures and sports memorabilia, using his profile and hands-on approach to build new enterprises while maintaining his connection with Dodger fans.
Hershiser and business partner Eddie Allizadeh reopened a Chevrolet dealership in Chino in May after buying the long-established M.K. Smith Chevrolet, following Hershiser’s earlier investment in Allizadeh’s Lane4 automotive sales firm. He also opened the Legends Attic memorabilia shop in Claremont in 2024, combining exhibits from his career with collectables from other sporting figures; his dealership launch was promoted through a surprise appearance at Chino’s April state-of-the-city address.
