Billie-Jean, Ilana join Dodgers board

– International Tennis Hall of Famer BillieJean King and partner Ilana Kloss have become members of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ ownership group, the team announced on Thursday.

The Dodgers planned to introduce the tennis icon King and Kloss during a press conference yesterday.

The 74-year-old King, who won 12 Grand Slam singles titles and 39 overall in a legendary career on and off the court, grew up as a Dodgers fan in Long Beach, California., and expressed her excitement to become minority owners along with South African Kloss.

“I’m totally going to pinch myself ... I’m pinching myself already,’” King told the Los Angeles Times from her New York residence.

“When you’re born and raised a southern California kid, you dream your dreams of coming back, but how could I have ever dreamed of something like this? Joining the Dodgers is my life coming full circle.” – Reuters
