What is Mary Hart’s net worth? A look into Former ET host’s earnings amid Dodgers’ game return

Former Entertainment Tonight host Mary Hart, who has been a season ticket holder at Dodger Stadium for years, returned to watch Game 3 of the 2025 World Series on October 27, alongside her husband, Burt Sugarman.

A Dodgers fan since 1979 after meeting late manager Tommy Lasorda, Mary was spotted seated on her iconic front-row seat behind home plate.

Mary Hart reportedly worked as a bat girl for the Hollywood Stars when she met Tommy Lasorda at an exhibition game, who asked her about her ambitions.

"Young lady, what is your dream?" asked Tommy.

She reportedly told him that she wanted to sing the national anthem at a Dodgers game, and the late manager made it happen within a month.

"And I was, 30 days later. Because of my friend, Tommy Lasorda. I've had a connection for a long time," said Mary.

Fans were thrilled to see Mary return to the game, with one writing:

"Great to see Mary Hart on my TV every night. Feels like high school."
