2. This ownership group is best for business. I don’t care what anyone says. They spend, they take care of their communities all to give back to the city and fans. Incredible job. I’m truly grateful to be alive during this timeline.

3. LFG DODGERS!!! BEST OWNERSHIP IN THE NATION.

4. That’s a hell of an ownership team you got there, Dodgers. That’s amazing!

5. Holy hell that’s a lot of cash

6. nice. objectively nice

7. Based.

8. interested to see what sort of deferred payment structure they’re using for this one

   (/s)

9. The Dodgers are going to have Los Angeles locked down for the next 50 years. Just insane. 

10. Any of it deferred?

11. I hate the Dodgers. Fucking hate em. I hate this ownership group for shitting on my Padres.

    But goddamn do I respect them for this.

12. Now would an evil empire really do that guys?

13. Damn, we’ve come a long way since the McCourt era Dodgers

14. Ppl were criticizing the $12 mil donated by all the teams collectively like it doesn’t take a few weeks to organize making a donation this large. In any case, love our ownership group 💙

15. Wow. That’s… amazing.

16. Class act.

    Meanwhile in San Diego………..

17. Arte Moreno says, “today, I am Anaheim.”

18. I have pledged to match this. I just need a couple weeks until the next pay period to finish cobbling it together.

19. Actually an owner who cares

20. Best team in the league in every way. Love to see it

21. As an angels fans, go dodgers, they put a good product on the field and help they community they benefit from, wish we had this, as a baseball fan I hate the dodgers but as a person, respect this.

22. Fuck you dodgers(that was very nice of him)

23. I am actually genuinely impressed to see no jokes about the donation being deferred. Good job Reddit, it was low hanging fruit and would’ve been poor taste

24. Good on him! Our owner wouldn’t do that even if he had the money.

25. Holy hell that’s a lotta dollar bills

    Major respect

26. Holy shit

    Where the hell is the fire department going to even be able to begin to spend 100,000,000.

    This is about to be one well equipped team

27. Fine 👏👏👏

28. I mean, hey, if the people that are supposed to send aid aren’t going to do it, the Dodgers will handle it. I’ve never liked the color orange.

29. The first donation I’ve ever seen from any franchise, for any charitable purpose, that’s actually substantial. Well done, Dodgers!

30. I believe he lost his home in Malibu and he still contributes. Where are you Tim Apple and Zuckerberg?

31. Holy shit 

32. They need to put a salary cap on supporting your community

33. I wonder if Arte is still from Los Angeles now

34. 

35. And announces the signing of Gavin Newsome.

36. I scrolled expecting the first comment to be “how much of it is deferred” and v surprised I did not see that joke lol

37. Legitimately impressive.

    And this isn’t like donating to a museum or university where your name and brand gets immortalized on a fancy building or hall for all to see.

    This matches the largest donation in history of most universities, even major ones like UNC.

38. Now that’s the kind of donation these fucks need to be making, good to see

39. FTD, but this is amazing and if you think anything negatively about it you’re trash.

40. That’s a lot of coin!

    Good on them

41. If this was McCourt he’d be asking for disaster relief instead for the stadium parking lot.

42. Nice to see the Dodgers do this. You won’t hear anything from the shriveled raisin that’s Moreno.

43. Was Dodger Stadium affected by the fires?

44. Damn they have 100 million for everyone

45. Genuinely grateful for the ownership we have

46. Donation is deferred for 10 years though

47. I came here fully expecting the Reddit dorks would be making snarky, lowbrow comments and was not disappointed

48. Deferred until 2100
