Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp will be on hand at 11 a.m. Friday at the North Venice Little League Baseball fields (map) to introduce his own line of Big League Chew Bubble Gum.
Kemp is currently on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his left AC joint.
The 2.12-ounce version of the bubble gum line, called “True Blue Original,” will be available for a limited time at select Los Angeles area retailers including Ralph’s, Food 4 Less, Jetro, Circle K, Dylan’s Candy Bar and Sports Chalet and online at www.plbsports.com.
Kemp will donate a portion of his proceeds from the Big League Chew to his charitable cause, Kemp’s Kids. The charity benefits inner city and underprivileged youth in Southern California.
