Publisher's Synopsis
Every Major League team has a history-but this is the franchise of Jackie Robinson. Every Major League team has players they call "heroes"-but with Robinson you can drop the emphasis: he's a true hero, an American icon, and a baseball legend.
This is the franchise of Walter Alston, Leo Durocher and Tommy Lasorda; Walter O'Malley, Larry MacPhail and Branch Rickey; the timeless calls of Vin Scully; and no fewer than 43 Hall of Fame players who spent a portion of their careers with the Dodgers.
It is a franchise so rich in history that it is inextricably linked to the history of the game itself. The reality is you can't tell the story of baseball's history without the Dodgers.
This is a book of Dodger history and trivia. With ten chapters and 200 brand new trivia questions, it is a celebration of the greatest players and moments in franchise history.
It has been a long time since April 21, 1890, when the franchise recorded its first official victory in the National League-but 128 years and more than 10,000 wins later the team is still going strong, still producing great players and historic moments.
Whether you are a novice or a long-time member of Dodger fandom ... Think Blue, enjoy the trivia, and have fun reminiscing.
