Considered to be the ugly stepsister to the cross-town New York Giants and Yankees, the Brooklyn Dodgers emerged in the 1940s, enjoyed great success and later uprooted to the left coast in 1958. Owner Walter O'Malley shocked his team's fans when he decided to move to Los Angeles for the 1958 season. They ended up a dreadful 7th place in their first year on the West Coast.
It was in 1959 that Los Angeles Dodgers captured the National League flag and won the World Series becoming the first California based franchise to ever win the World Series. The 1960s proved successful and Los Angeles Dodgers won pennants in 1963, 1965 and 1966 all due to arms of Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale, and the feet of Maury Wills and Willie Davis. It ended with them being World Champs in 1963 and 1965.
Los Angeles Dodgers won the 1974, 1977, and 1978 Western division titles but unfortunately lost each and every World Series during the 1970s. Yankees returned to glory just in time to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers in 6 games in 1977 and 1978. The 1970s team had Steve Garvey, Jimmy Wynn, Ron Cey, Don Sutton, Bill Russell, Tommy John, Davey Lopes, Rick Monday, Reggie Smith, Steve Yeager, Dusty Baker, and Burt Hooton and all teamed up with young hurler Fernando Valenzuela to eventually defeat the unbeatable Yankees in the 1981 World Series.
Led by Tommy Lasorda since 1976, Los Angeles Dodgers won division titles in 1983 and 1985. Kirk Gibson and pitcher Orel Hershiser led the team to victory in the 1988 World Series, their fourth World Title in Los Angeles and fifth as a franchise.
Their great young talent, including Mike Piazza and Chan Ho Park, won many Rookie of the Year honors in the 1980s and 1990s, but had only two division titles and a wild card to show for the 1990s.
This year Manager Grady Little is excited about the new free-agent acquisitions of outfielder Luis Gonzalez, and speedy leadoff hitter Juan Pierre. In order to make up for their losses, General Manager of Los Angeles Dodgers Ned Colletti managed to acquire Jason Schmidt, a power-pitcher with ace stuff. He has an arsenal of pitches that he is not afraid to use at any point in the game. His addition should help the Los Angeles Dodgers in getting one of the deepest rotations in the entire league. Free-agent lefty Randy Wolf has also been added to the team who is coming back after his Tommy John elbow surgery. Aside from Schmidt and Wolf, they have Derek Lowe (16-8, 3.63 ERA in '06) and Brad Penny (16-9, 4.33 ERA in '06). If their health permits, they'll dominate the game this time helping the Los Angeles Dodgers as are really looking forward to making another division title run as they did last year. Takashi Saito, 36, is going to anchor the bullpen. He posted a 2.07 ERA while closing 24 games last season.
Los Angeles Dodgers offense should produce runs despite not having very many long-ball threats. Though they lead the league in batting average (.276) and OBP (.348), they still need Nomar Garciaparra and Jeff Kent to continue hitting and stay healthy and productive.
If their pitching is solid and their offense strings together hits to get runs on the board, the Los Angeles Dodgers fans will enjoy a lot of close and exciting games this year.
