“Black-ish” star Anthony Anderson,  “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” star Clark Gregg, recently retired soccer star Landon Donovan and Basketball Hall of Fame member Lisa Leslie are among the scheduled participants in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Hollywood Stars Game June 6.

Other scheduled participants announced by the Dodgers Wednesday for the softball game include actors Alan Thicke,  Jaleel White, James Van Der Beek, Vivica A. Fox and Rob Riggle and Blink 182 bassist Mark Hoppus.

Talk show host Larry King and writer-producer-director Garry Marshall will manage the teams.

The Hollywood Stars Game will precede the Dodgers-St. Louis Cardinals game.

This will be the Dodgers’ first Hollywood Stars Game since 2009.

The Dodgers had played an annual Hollywood Stars Game from 1958, their first season in Los Angeles, through 2009, except in 1994 when it was canceled because of a strike by the Major League Baseball Players Association.

Participants included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart and Robin Williams.

The Dodgers had planned to conduct a Hollywood Stars Game in 2010, but the game was postponed “due to operational issues,” then canceled, according to an executive who has since left the organization.

“We just wanted to take a couple of years off from doing it and we feel now is the right time to bring it back,” Joe Jareck, the team’s director of public relations, told City News Service in November when the team announced it would be reviving the game.
