About this book

It would be 72 years after the franchise’s founding that the team would win its first World Series title, making 1955 a very significant year in Dodgers history. The first black player in the Major League, Jackie Robinson, would finally lead the then-Brooklyn Dodgers to the title after a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees. The Yankees had beaten the Dodgers in 5 of their 7 World Series losses, with their eventual victory tasting even sweeter. The team has won 24 National League pennants, the second-most of any team, and has won seven World Series titles in total. They also have the most Rookie of the Year winners, with Robinson being the first!

The LA Dodgers began the 2021 season as defending World Series champions, the first time they’d done so in over thirty years. After both their titles in the 1980s, the Dodgers had failed to even make the playoffs the following year, but 2021 proved third time lucky, as the Dodgers posted 106 wins, the second-best record in the league. Ultimately, they would lose in the National League Championship Series to eventual World Series champions the Atlanta Braves. Now updated to include the 2024 season that saw the Dodgers beat the Yankees and claim their 8th Word Series Championship!

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself.
