Mary Hart and Other Superfans Shine in NLCS

LOS ANGELES, CA — The 2025 National League Championship Series (NLCS) is heating up as the Milwaukee Brewers face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Among the Dodgers’ passionate supporters is Mary Hart, the former host of “Entertainment Tonight,” who has been a constant presence at Dodger games for nearly 40 years.

Mary Hart has been spotted in the front row at Dodger Stadium, where she has cheered on her favorite team through thick and thin. Although there’s no official word on her attendance for the NLCS, her history as a superfan makes her a likely presence. Hart’s love for the Dodgers began when she moved to Los Angeles in 1979, even serving as a bat girl during a Hollywood Stars game, an exhibition long associated with Dodger Stadium.

During her initial encounter with Dodgers legend Tommy Lasorda, Hart expressed her dream of singing the national anthem at a game. “And I was, 30 days later,” Hart recalled. “Because of my friend, Tommy Lasorda. I’ve had a connection for a long time.” Hart has since become a season-ticket holder, often sitting behind home plate. She was notably present during the 2018 postseason.

Alongside Hart’s fandom, the Dodgers’ fanbase includes several high-profile supporters. Emmy Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston is one such superfan. Over the years, Cranston has expressed how deeply the Dodgers affect his mood. “When they lose, I’m a little down,” he shared. He has even attended Dodger fantasy camp and participated in adult baseball leagues, showcasing his love for the sport.

Jason Bateman, another dedicated Dodgers fan, recently described last year’s World Series win as “pretty sweet.” He noted that he believed the team would secure another title in the current season. Bateman, often seen with headphones listening to Dodgers broadcasts, attended the NLCS with his friend, actor Will Arnett.

Singer Brad Paisley also notes his affection for the Dodgers, crediting his marriage to a Hollywood actress for drawing him to the team. He has performed the national anthem at Dodgers games and takes his children to watch the games regularly.

As the NLCS progresses, fans are eager to see which celebrities will turn up to cheer on their teams. Game 3 of the series is scheduled for 5:08 p.m. CT on Thursday, Oct. 16, at Dodger Stadium, with the Dodgers currently holding a 2-0 series lead.
