The former Dodgers ace and broadcaster is the 2,853rd star on the Walk of Fame, honoring his record-setting career and 2014-24 tenure behind the microphone.
- On Thursday, August 13, 2026, record-setting Dodger pitcher-turned-broadcaster Orel Hershiser received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6755 Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles.
- The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce awarded the star in the sports entertainment category, honoring individuals who demonstrated "longevity of excellence," following Hershiser's historic 1988 season winning the Cy Young Award and World Series MVP.
- Retired Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw and Dodger manager Dave Roberts attended the ceremony, with Kershaw praising his former teammate: "Orel was always there to be a helpful guy, somebody that was never negative."
- During his remarks, Hershiser credited his team for his success, stating, "I've figured out that life is a team sport. On the mound you can feel alone, but you're not by yourself."
- This nearly 3,000th star follows previous sports entertainment recipients including Michael Strahan, Carl Weathers, Billie Jean King, and David Beckham since the Hollywood Chamber established the category in 2021.
