Grounds crew remove a rain protecting tarp from the field at Dodger Stadium before the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies take batting practice in preparation for their MLB National League Championship playoff baseball series in Los Angeles in this October 14, 2009 file photo. The Los Angeles Dodgers on June 27, 2011 filed for bankruptcy protection, blaming Major League Baseball for refusing to approve a television deal with News Corp's Fox Network to give the financially strapped baseball team a quick injection of cash. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt has been struggling to meet payroll and other financial commitments, having been heavily in debt and locked in a bitter divorce battle with his former wife Jamie tied to the team's ownership.
