Six-time all-star and former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kenny Lofton is coming to the South Bay to host a charity baseball clinic for kids at the Beach City Baseball facility in El Segundo.
Lofton, who holds the Major League Baseball record for postseason stolen bases and was the American League leader in steals five times, will give tips and suggestions on improving participants' baseball skills and batting form.
Lofton hit .299 with 1,528 runs and 2,428 hits in 17 seasons, doing most of his damage with the Cleveland Indians.
Reserve a spot by calling 310-322-3955. The cost is $200 per person and payment must be made in advance. Beach City Baseball will donate all proceeds from the event to local charities.

Dave Thorpe

Dave Thorpe was a self-proclaimed, slightly above average baseball player back in the day at Torrance's West High, who went on and had an unspectacular, injury-riddled stint as a third baseman at El Camino College. Trading bat for pen, Thorpe wrote sports for the Long Beach Union newspaper at Long Beach State University, then worked as the sports editor for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News for seven years before climbing down the Hill to the Daily Breeze, where he has been a sports writer covering local sports for more than two years.
