Inglewood City Councilman Daniel Tabor is a big fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers, but as Matt Kemp and James Loney took on the Florida Marlins at Chavez Ravine on Sunday afternoon, Tabor was concentrating on a different diamond.

Each Sunday since July 5, Tabor has been hosting and playing in the “Frat Games” at Darby Park in Inglewood, where alumni from four historically black fraternities challenge each other to games of softball in hopes of inspiring young African Americans to go to college and at the same time rekindling the alumni’s old bonds.
