Information
The Dodgers
got their name from the early 20th century and their days in Brooklyn.
Pedestrians had to dodge trolleys that crisscrossed the city before
the car was invented and were called trolley dodgers.
The beloved
Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in time for the home opener
on April 18, 1958. In just their second year in LA the Dodgers
defeated the Chicago White Sox in the World Series.
Playing in
the old LA Memorial Coliseum the Dodgers attracted a record crowd
of 92,394 to game 3 of the 1959 World Series. That’s over
36,000 more fans than Dodger Stadium, built a few years later,
can hold.
The legendary
Jackie Robinson played for the Dodgers from 1947 through 1956.
He was the first African American to play in the Major Leagues
and was inducted into the Hall of Fame on July 23, 1962.
After being
struck in the throat by a piece of broken bat, Dodgers catcher
Steve Yeager invented a hanging throat protector on a catcher’s
mask to prevent similar injuries. Buy Dodgers Tickets Early offensive
problems along with a string of injuries made it tough for the
Dodgers in 2002 but they were able to overcome these setbacks
and maintain contention for the NL West and the Wild Card spot
into the playoffs. Unfortunately the Dodgers finished just 3 games
out of the playoffs finishing in 3rd place. The year wasn’t
all bad as Eric Gagne starts to make a name for himself as possibly
the most dominant closer in the game. On May 23rd Shawn green
hit 4 HRs, a double, and a single to set the single game record
for total bases at 19. 2003 proved to be even more of a struggle
than 2002 as the Dodgers offense puts up a league worst 574 runs
all season. Despite having the worst offense in baseball, the
Dodgers pitching staff becomes the best in the league posting
a team ERA of just 3.16. Eric Gagne continues his closing duties
for the team recording 55 saves in the same number of opportunities.
Shawn Green was not exempt from the team wide hitting slump as
he hits only 19 homers all year. The dodgers would finish the
year with a record of 85-77. Forgetting the struggles of 2003
the Dodgers played very solid ball basically all year long as
they finish the regular season 93-69, good enough to win the NL
West Division. The Dodgers would meet up with the high powered
St. Louis Cardinals in the NLDS. After dropping the first two
in St. Louis the Dodgers faced elimination from the 5 game series
as it came back to the west. An exciting and stellar pitching
performance by Jose Lima ignites a spark within the Dodgers as
they win game 3 and keep their hopes alive. However, in game 4
the power bats of the Cardinals rally and outscore the Dodgers
for the win. In the off season would bring drastic lineup changes
to the Dodgers as general manager Paul DePodesta restructures
the entire team. 6 of the everyday starters on opening day were
traded along with opening day starting pitcher Hideo Nomo, ALDS
game 3 winner Jose Lima and 12 other players. Newly acquired J.D.
Drew can hopefully provide the bat the Dodgers are looking for
as they start rebuilding for 2005.
