The other will be for former City Councilwoman Roz Wyman who, along with Hahn\u2019s father Supervisor Kenny Hahn, brought the Dodgers to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Supervisor Hahn nominated both LaBonge and Wyman during today\u2019s meeting of the LA Memorial Coliseum Commission and both were approved unanimously.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cI hope these plaques will be fitting tributes to their legacies,\u201d said Supervisor Janice Hahn. \u201cTom loved this city and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This plaque will be a way for us to show how much we loved him back. Roz, along with my father, brought the Dodgers to LA and they played their first two seasons and the 1959 World Series in the Coliseum. That is LA history that needs to be recognized.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Tom LaBonge, aka \u201cMr. Los Angeles,\u201d was a longtime supporter of the LA Memorial Coliseum. He attended Coliseum Commission meetings long after he retired from the City Council and raised funds for other Court of Honor honorees. He even worked as a NFL sideline photographer at a number of games at the Coliseum.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">On top of Roz Wyman\u2019s ties to the Coliseum through the Dodgers, she was the City Council\u2019s first representative on the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission. She was the first woman to serve on the LA City Council and was the youngest person ever elected to the City Council at the age of 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles, CA\u2014Today, Los Angeles County&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ca-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32106"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32107,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32106\/revisions\/32107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
