that powered the team. He won the fifth and final game, capping a post-season where he went 3-0, w/ a save, and a 1.05 ERA!

Born on this date in 1927 in Norristown, Pa., Tommy Lasorda led the

Happy Birthday to the legendary Sandy Koufax
Join us in wishing Sandy Koufax a happy 88th birthday!
Koufax debuted for his hometown
@Dodgers
at age 19, but he didn’t reach peak dominance until they’d moved to Los Angeles. From 1961-66, the lefty posted arguably the greatest six-season stretch of pitching ever seen.

Happy Birthday Mike! 🎂
Happy 65th birthday to the great Mike Scioscia. Scioscia managed the Angels for 19 years but he’ll always be a Dodger. He spent his entire 13-year playing career with LA and was a 2-time AS and 2-time WS champ. One of the best ever behind the plate and a Dodger legend.

Happy 75th birthday to the great Steve Garvey. Garvey is one of the biggest heroes to my generation of Dodger fans and a true Dodger legend - NL MVP, 8-time AS, 4-time GG, Roberto Clemente Award, NLCS MVP, and WS champ. Hope he’s having a very well deserved phenomenal day.

Mike Piazza was drafted dead last in the draft, and it was a favour for Tommy Lasorda. But yet, Ted Williams knew he was going to be great when he was 15. GOATS just know.

Legendary figure whose contribution to baseball and the nation should not be forgotten or underestimated.
Happy 142nd birthday to the late, great Branch Rickey. Rickey is the greatest executive in all of sports after revolutionizing baseball more than once - most significantly when he initiated it’s integration. He also built some memorable teams in his 8 years running the Dodgers.
