Many have said that these are tough times for Dodgers' owner, Frank McCourt.
Currently, McCourt is involved in a multimillion dollar divorce with his estranged wife, Jamie. And according to one of his court filings, he is always low on money. Not to mention, his ownership of the team is constantly under scrutiny.
This week, McCourt stepped to the stage at a gala to accept an award from the Los Angeles Police Protective League's charity, the Eagle & Badge Foundation. He allegedly decided to give away one of the few things that he has a lot of nowadays, Dodgers tickets.
He promised to give 10,000 men and women of the police force vouchers for four tickets each, a total of 40,000 tickets, which is equivalent to $1.25 million Josh Rawitch, the Dodgers' VP of Communications, said "This is certainly one of the largest charitable donation made to a single organization by the Dodgers in recent memory."
When asked if McCourt could afford it due to his divorce proceeding, Rawitch replied, "Yes, of course."
