The Los Angeles Dodgers are an American professional baseball team based in Los Angeles. The Dodgers compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) West Division. One of the most successful and storied franchises in MLB, the Dodgers have won nine World Series championships and a record 26 National League pennants. As of 2026, Forbes ranked the Dodgers second in MLB franchise valuation at $7.8 billion.[6][7]
Founded in 1883 in Brooklyn, New York, the team joined the NL in 1890 as the Brooklyn Bridegrooms and used other names before becoming the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1932.[8][9][10] The Dodgers broke the baseball color line in 1947 with the debut of Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play in the Major Leagues since 1884.[11] From the 1940s through the mid-1950s, the Dodgers had a fierce crosstown rivalry with the New York Yankees. The clubs have faced each other in the World Series a record 12 times, with the Dodgers losing the first five matchups before winning the franchise's first title (and only one in Brooklyn) in 1955.
After 68 seasons in Brooklyn, Dodgers owner and president Walter O'Malley moved the franchise to Los Angeles before the 1958 season.[12] The team played their first four seasons at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before moving to their current home of Dodger Stadium in 1962.[13] The Dodgers found immediate success in Los Angeles, winning the 1959 World Series. Success continued into the 1960s; their ace pitchers Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale helped win titles in 1963 and 1965. In 1956, Don Newcombe became the first player to win the Cy Young Award and be named NL MVP in the same season.[14] In 1981, rookie pitcher Fernando Valenzuela became a sensation and led the team to a championship; he remains the only player to win the Cy Young and Rookie of the Year awards in the same season.[15] The Dodgers were once again victorious in 1988, upsetting their heavily favored opponent in each series and becoming the only franchise to win multiple titles in the 1980s.[16] The Dodgers later made 12 postseason appearances in a 17-year span, and they ended the championship drought in 2020.[17] Two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani joined the Dodgers in 2024. With Ohtani, the Dodgers won consecutive World Series titles in 2024 and 2025, accomplishing a feat not seen since the Yankees' three-peat from 1998 to 2000.[18][19]
The O'Malley family owned the Dodgers for 48 years before selling the club to Rupert Murdoch's Fox Group in 1998. Frank and Jamie McCourt bought the team in 2004; amid their divorce and the franchise's debts, Major League Baseball took over day-to-day operations and the Dodgers filed for bankruptcy protection in 2011.[20] Guggenheim Baseball Management purchased the club in 2012 for $2.15 billion, then the highest price ever paid for a North American professional sports franchise. Forbes and Sportico both rank the Dodgers second in value among Major League Baseball franchises, behind the New York Yankees.
Thirteen players have been named NL MVP with the Dodgers. Eight Dodger pitchers have won a total of 12 Cy Young Awards—by far the most of any MLB franchise. The Dodgers boast 18 Rookie of the Year Award winners, twice as many as the next club. This includes four consecutive Rookies of the Year from 1979 to 1982 and five consecutive from 1992 to 1996. From 1884 through 2025, the Dodgers' record is 11,525–10,137–139 (.532). Since moving to Los Angeles in 1958, the Dodgers' record is 5,901–4,857–6 (.548) through the end of 2025.[21]
The Dodgers have a wide fanbase.[22][23][24] Their rivalry with the San Francisco Giants has spanned over a century and distinct eras as a New York City cross-town affair and a California cross-state rivalry.
History
The franchise was founded in Brooklyn in 1883 and played there until it moved to Los Angeles for the 1958 season.
1883–1912: Founding in Brooklyn
The club was formed as the Brooklyn Baseball Association in 1883, playing that season in the Interstate League.[25] It joined the major league American Association in 1884 — the season it played as the Brooklyn Atlantics, borrowing the name of a defunct team that had played in Brooklyn before them — won the American Association championship in 1889, and joined the National League in 1890,[26][20][27] promptly winning the National League pennant in its first season in the league.[20]
The franchise was organized in 1883 by a group that included the Brooklyn real estate man Charles Byrne and Ferdinand Abell, a Rhode Island casino operator who supplied most of the capital and held a controlling interest through the 1890s.[20] Charles Ebbets, who had joined the club in its first season as a bookkeeper and scorecard salesman and worked for it for 42 years, succeeded Byrne as president upon Byrne's death in January 1898 and spent the following decade accumulating stock, buying out Abell and the remaining outside interests in November 1907.[20][28]
1913–1938: Ebbets Field and the Robins
Ebbets bought 25 to 30 parcels of land in secrecy so that word of the plan would not drive prices up, and to finance construction he sold half the club in August 1912 to the Brooklyn contractors Edward and Stephen McKeever, who took 25 percent each.[20] Ebbets Field opened for the National League opener on April 9, 1913; the park seated about 24,000.[29][28] Late that year the club hired Wilbert Robinson as manager. He held the job for 18 seasons, and the team became widely known as the Robins after him.[30]
Brooklyn won the National League pennant in 1916 at 94–60 and lost the World Series to the Boston Red Sox in five games.[21][31] A second pennant followed in 1920, a 93–61 season that drew an unprecedented 809,000 spectators to Ebbets Field, second best in the National League; Brooklyn lost that World Series to the Cleveland Indians, five games to two.[21][31][29]
Ebbets died on April 18, 1925, and Edward McKeever died eleven days after his funeral, leaving the Ebbets and McKeever heirs holding exactly half the stock apiece and deadlocking the board for more than a decade.[20][28] Robinson served as club president as well as manager from 1925 to 1929, years in which the team became known as the "Daffy Dodgers".[30] After finishing second in 1924, a game and a half back, Brooklyn placed sixth in each of the next five seasons, and Robinson was replaced by Max Carey after the 1931 season.[21][30] The club added roughly 9,000 seats to Ebbets Field in 1931, but attendance fell below 500,000 from 1934 through 1937, and the 1937 team lost 91 games.[29][21]
The club lost money every year from 1931 through 1937 and fell more than $700,000 into debt to the Brooklyn Trust Company, whose chairman, George V. McLaughlin, effectively directed the franchise and installed Larry MacPhail as general manager in 1938.[20] MacPhail introduced night baseball at Ebbets Field and hired Red Barber to broadcast the games.[32]
1939–1957: Branch Rickey, Jackie Robinson, and the last Brooklyn years
In 1941, the Dodgers captured their third National League pennant, only to lose to the New York Yankees. This marked the onset of the Dodgers–Yankees rivalry, as the Dodgers would face them in their next six World Series appearances.[31][33]
The stalemate ended in stages: in October 1944 a group including Branch Rickey, the attorney Walter O'Malley and the Pfizer president John L. Smith bought the Edward McKeever estate's quarter share for $240,000, and in August 1945 the three purchased the Ebbets estate's half for $800,000.[20]
For most of the first half of the 20th century, no Major League Baseball team employed an African American player.[34] Jackie Robinson became the first African American to play for a Major League Baseball team when he played his first major league game on April 15, 1947, as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers.[35][34] This was mainly due to general manager Branch Rickey's efforts.[34] The deeply religious Rickey's motivation appears to have been primarily moral, although business considerations were also a factor.[36] Rickey was a member of The Methodist Church, the antecedent denomination to The United Methodist Church of today, which was a strong advocate for social justice and active later in the American Civil Rights Movement.[37]
Robinson's debut preceded Brown v. Board of Education and the Montgomery bus boycott, and is regarded as an early moment in the American Civil Rights Movement.[38] It also hastened the decline of the Negro leagues: attendance in black baseball fell sharply in 1947 as fans followed Robinson to Ebbets Field and to Dodgers road games, and the Negro National League folded after the 1948 season.[39] Robinson was an exceptional player, a speedy runner who sparked the team with his intensity.[34] He was the inaugural recipient of the Rookie of the Year award, which is now named the Jackie Robinson Award in his honor.[34] Robinson would eventually go on to become the first African-American elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.[34]
The Dodgers' willingness to integrate, when most other teams refused to, was a key factor in their 1947–1956 success.[40] They won six pennants in those 10 years with the help of Robinson, three-time National League Most Valuable Player Roy Campanella, also signed out of the Negro leagues,[41] Cy Young Award winner Don Newcombe, Jim Gilliam and Joe Black.[29][41][42] They captured their first World Series title in 1955 by defeating the Yankees for the first time,[31] a story described in the 1972 book The Boys of Summer.[43]
O'Malley acquired majority ownership of the Dodgers in 1950 when he bought the 25 percent share of co-owner Branch Rickey and became allied with the widow of another equal partner, Mrs. John L. Smith.[44][20] Smith had died that July, leaving his widow aligned with O'Malley, and under the partnership's buyout terms the Rickey share cost slightly more than $1 million.[b][20] O'Malley bought Mrs. Smith's share in 1957, giving him two-thirds of the club, and acquired the remaining third from the heirs of James and Dearie Mulvey in January 1975 to become sole owner.[20] Shortly afterwards, he was working to buy new land in Brooklyn to build a more accessible and profitable ballpark than the aging Ebbets Field.[44][29] Beloved as it was, Ebbets Field was no longer well-served by its aging infrastructure and the Dodgers could no longer sell out the park even in the heat of a pennant race, despite largely dominating the National League from 1946 to 1957.[29]
O'Malley wanted to replace Ebbets Field with a privately financed stadium at Atlantic and Flatbush avenues in Brooklyn, saying that he did not want to be "a tenant in a political ball park".[45] He asked the city to assemble the land under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949, which funded slum clearance. Robert Moses, who as head of the city's Committee on Slum Clearance controlled that money, refused, writing that the plan did not justify "the exercise of the power of eminent domain, not to speak of the use of public funds to reduce the cost of land".[45][46] The Dodgers offered $1.5 million toward a site whose acquisition was estimated at over $9 million, which would have left the city paying about 90 percent of the cost.[47] To put pressure on the city, O'Malley announced during the 1955 season that the team would play seven regular-season games and one exhibition game at Jersey City's Roosevelt Stadium in 1956. Mayor Robert Wagner convened a meeting three days later, and the Board of Estimate appropriated $100,000 to study the site.[46]
In the autumn of 1956 the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors sent Kenneth Hahn to the World Series to pursue a major league team for the city, and he met Washington Senators owner Calvin Griffith; O'Malley learned of the approach and told Hahn that he was interested himself.[48] Los Angeles offered what New York would not: land O'Malley could buy and a ballpark he would own.[44] Moses proposed instead a city-owned stadium at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, which O'Malley rejected because he would not own it;[49][44] the mayor's Special Committee ruled the Queens site out in May 1957.[50] Mayor Wagner and the Board of Estimate declined to subsidize a stadium, taking the view that a baseball franchise was a private business.[51] In Brooklyn, a "Keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn" petition launched by borough president John Cashmore drew 25,000 signatures.[49] National League owners voted unanimously on May 29, 1957 to authorize both the Dodgers and the Giants to move to the West Coast, provided each club confirmed its intention before October 1.[51] Giants owner Horace Stoneham had decided by March 1957 to move his club to Minneapolis, home of his Triple-A Minneapolis Millers; he chose San Francisco instead, encouraged by O'Malley and by Los Angeles mayor Norris Poulson.[52]
The Brooklyn Dodgers played their final game at Ebbets Field on September 24, 1957, which the Dodgers won 2–0 over the Pittsburgh Pirates.[29][53]
1958–1973: Los Angeles, Dodger Stadium, and the Koufax era
For the 1958 season, the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles and kept their nickname, even though pedestrians in Los Angeles were not known for dodging trolleys.[44] The Giants also kept their nickname when they moved to San Francisco for that season as well. These moves left New York with only one baseball team, the American League Yankees, and without a National League team until 1962, when Joan Payson founded the New York Mets. The blue background used by the Dodgers was adopted by the Mets, honoring their New York NL forebears with a blend of Dodgers blue and Giants orange.[54]
The Dodgers played the first major league game in Los Angeles.[55] On April 18, 1958, the Dodgers played their first Los Angeles game, defeating the former New York and now new San Francisco Giants, 6–5, before 78,672 fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.[56] Catcher Roy Campanella, left partially paralyzed in an off-season accident, was never able to play in Los Angeles.[41]
In just their second season in Los Angeles, the Dodgers won their second World Series title, beating the Chicago White Sox in six games in 1959.[31]
Construction on Dodger Stadium was completed in time for Opening Day 1962.[57] Cantilevered grandstands replaced the pillars used in older parks, and O'Malley promoted the resulting unobstructed views as a selling point; the trade-off was that seats above the lowest deck sat farther from the field than comparable seats elsewhere.[58] Although close to downtown Los Angeles, the stadium was surrounded by parking lots and framed by three freeways, with limited public transport.[58] The park favored pitching.[57] O'Malley privately financed and built Dodger Stadium, retaining ownership of the ballpark and its revenue streams.[20]
Spearheaded by the dominant pitching of Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale, the Dodgers captured three pennants in the 1960s and won two more World Series titles, sweeping the Yankees in four games in 1963, and edging the Minnesota Twins in seven in 1965.[31] The 1963 sweep was their second victory against the Yankees, and their first against them as a Los Angeles team. The Dodgers won another pennant in 1966 but lost the World Series.[31]
1974–1997: Lasorda, Fernandomania, and the 1988 title
They won pennants again in 1974, 1977 and 1978, losing each World Series.[31] They won the World Series again in 1981 behind pitching sensation Fernando Valenzuela; the early 1980s were affectionately dubbed "Fernandomania".[31][15]
Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Ron Cey and Bill Russell first started together as the Dodgers' infield on June 13, 1973, and stayed together longer than any infield in major league history, surpassing the Chicago White Stockings combination of 1883–89.[59]
Walter O'Malley died in 1979, and control passed to a trust for his children, Peter O'Malley and Therese O'Malley Seidler, with Peter serving as president and chairman.[20]
In 1988, another pitching hero, Orel Hershiser, led them to a World Series victory,[31] aided by one of the most memorable home runs of all time: star outfielder Kirk Gibson, injured in both knees, came off the bench to pinch-hit with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning of game 1, in his only appearance of the series.[60]
The Dodgers did not reach the postseason again until 1995. They won 93 games in 1991 but finished a game behind the Atlanta Braves, then fell to 63–99 in 1992, the franchise's worst record since 1912.[21] Five Dodgers won the National League Rookie of the Year Award in consecutive seasons over this stretch: Eric Karros in 1992, Mike Piazza in 1993, Raúl Mondesí in 1994, Hideo Nomo in 1995 and Todd Hollandsworth in 1996.[61]
Los Angeles led the National League West when the players' strike ended the 1994 season in August, and no postseason was played.[21] The club reached the Division Series in 1995 as division champions and in 1996 as the wild card, and was swept in three games each time, by the Cincinnati Reds and the Atlanta Braves.[21][31] Tommy Lasorda's 20 seasons as manager ended during the 1996 season, when Bill Russell replaced him.[62]
In January 1997 Peter O'Malley announced that the club was for sale, citing estate-tax exposure and his view that family ownership could no longer compete with corporate-backed franchises.[20]
1998–2012: Fox, McCourt, and bankruptcy
Major League Baseball's owners approved the sale of the Dodgers to Rupert Murdoch's Fox Group, a division of News Corporation, by a vote of 27–2 on March 19, 1998, ending 48 years of O'Malley family control.[c][63][64] The $311 million purchase included the franchise, Dodger Stadium and roughly 300 surrounding acres, and the club's training complexes in Vero Beach, Florida and the Dominican Republic.[20] Fox had sought the team primarily as programming for its regional sports networks and as a competitive response to Disney's ownership of the Anaheim Angels.[20]
The Fox Ownership era proved turbulent. The May 1998 trade of catcher Mike Piazza was executed without the knowledge of general manager Fred Claire, who was dismissed along with manager Bill Russell the following month; Peter O'Malley resigned as chairman before the end of the year.[20] In 1999 Fox sold a minority stake to the former Warner Bros. chairman Bob Daly, who took over as chairman and chief executive.[20] The Dodgers did not reach the postseason in any of the six seasons under Fox ownership, finishing second in the National League West twice.[21] Closer Éric Gagné won the National League Cy Young Award in 2003, taking 28 of 32 first-place votes.[65]
Major League Baseball approved the sale of the club to the Boston real estate developers Frank and Jamie McCourt on January 29, 2004, for approximately $430 million.[d][20] The purchase was almost entirely debt-financed, with Fox itself providing much of the financing, secured against McCourt's parking lots on the South Boston waterfront — property he later conveyed to Fox in lieu of repayment.[e][20] By August 2010 the club's debt had grown to roughly $433 million.[20]
In their first season under the new owners the Dodgers won 93 games and returned to the postseason for the first time since 1996, clinching the division on October 2 when Steve Finley hit a walk-off grand slam against the Giants.[21][66] They lost the National League Division Series to the St. Louis Cardinals that year, and were swept by the New York Mets in the 2006 Division Series.[31]
Joe Torre managed the team from 2008 to 2010.[62] Los Angeles acquired Manny Ramirez from the Boston Red Sox in a three-team trade on July 31, 2008; he batted .396 in 53 games for the Dodgers.[67] The club won the Division Series in both 2008 and 2009, its first postseason series wins since 1988, and lost the National League Championship Series to the Philadelphia Phillies in each of those years.[31]
The McCourts separated in October 2009, and Frank McCourt's dismissal of his wife as chief executive was followed by divorce proceedings in which she asserted a community-property claim to half the franchise. In December 2010 a Los Angeles Superior Court judge invalidated the post-marital agreement that Frank McCourt contended gave him sole ownership.[20] With the club's finances in question, commissioner Bud Selig announced on April 20, 2011 that Major League Baseball would take over the Dodgers' day-to-day operations, citing "deep concerns regarding the finances and operations" of the franchise, and appointed the former Texas Rangers president Tom Schieffer as monitor.[68] Selig rejected a proposed long-term television agreement with Fox that June, and on June 27, 2011 the Dodgers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware, listing deferred compensation owed to Manny Ramirez and Andruw Jones among its largest unsecured claims.[69] The Dodgers had losing records in 2010 and 2011.[21]
The McCourts reached a divorce settlement in October 2011 under which Frank McCourt agreed to pay $131 million and Jamie McCourt relinquished all claims to the team.[70] On November 1, 2011 McCourt and Major League Baseball jointly announced that the franchise would be sold under court supervision.[71]
In March 2012 McCourt agreed to sell the Dodgers to Guggenheim Baseball Management for $2.15 billion, then the highest price ever paid for a North American professional sports franchise and roughly two and a half times the previous Major League Baseball record of $845 million paid for the Chicago Cubs in 2009. The bankruptcy court approved the sale in April and it closed on May 1, 2012.[72][4] The group was led by the Guggenheim Partners chief executive Mark Walter as controlling owner and included Magic Johnson, Peter Guber, Todd Boehly, Bobby Patton and the executive Stan Kasten, who became team president.[4]
On August 25, 2012 the new owners acquired Adrián González, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto from Boston in a nine-player trade, the largest in franchise history.[73][74]
2013–present: The Guggenheim era
The Dodgers' next pennant came in 2017, aided by a Justin Turner walk-off home run, 29 years to the day after Gibson's.[75] They lost the Series in seven games to the Houston Astros, which would later be revealed to have been stealing signs.[76] The Dodgers repeated as pennant-winners in 2018 but lost the Series to the Boston Red Sox in five games; Game 3 lasted 18 innings and seven hours and 20 minutes, the longest game in World Series and postseason history.[31][77]
In 2020, in a season shortened to 60 games by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dodgers scored 11 runs in one inning of Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves, the most in any inning of a postseason game.[78] They won the pennant and beat the Tampa Bay Rays in six games for their first World Series title since 1988.[17][31]
Before the 2024 season the Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year, $700 million contract.[79] They returned to the World Series that October, where Freddie Freeman won Game 1 with a walk-off grand slam, the first in World Series history.[80] The Dodgers came back from a five-run deficit in Game 5 to beat the New York Yankees in five games for their eighth title, and Freeman was named the series' most valuable player.[81]
The Dodgers repeated in 2025, beating the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games.[31] Miguel Rojas tied Game 7 with a home run in the ninth inning, the first game-tying home run in the ninth inning or later of a World Series Game 7 in major league history.[82] It was the first back-to-back title in 25 years; no team had repeated since the Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000.[83]
The ownership group has since expanded, adding Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss in 2018 and the businessmen Alan Smolinisky and Robert L. Plummer in September 2019.[84] The franchise's estimated value has risen sharply under Guggenheim ownership. Forbes valued the club at $6.8 billion in 2025 and $7.8 billion in 2026,[85][86] while Sportico estimated its value at $9.05 billion in 2026.[87] Both ranked the Dodgers second among Major League Baseball franchises, behind the New York Yankees.
The Dodgers have had only three top-five draft picks since the MLB draft was introduced in 1965, and have had one top-ten pick (Clayton Kershaw, No. 7) since 1985.[88]
Origin of the nickname
The Dodgers' official history reports that the term "Trolley Dodgers" was attached to the Brooklyn ballclub due to the complex maze of trolley cars that weaved its way through the borough of Brooklyn.[89]
In 1892, the city of Brooklyn (Brooklyn was an independent city until annexed by New York City in 1898) began replacing its slow-moving, horse-drawn trolley lines with the faster, more powerful electric trolley lines.[90] Within less than three years, by the end of 1895, electric trolley accidents in Brooklyn had resulted in more than 130 deaths and maimed well over 500 people.[91] Brooklyn's high profile, the significant number of widely reported accidents, and a trolley strike in early 1895, combined to create a strong association in the public's mind between Brooklyn and trolley dodging.[90]
Sportswriters started using the name "Trolley Dodgers" to refer to the Brooklyn team early in the 1895 season.[92] The name was shortened to, on occasion, the "Brooklyn Dodgers" as early as 1898.[93] The sportswriter Charles Dryden nicknamed the team the Trolley Dodgers after the Brooklyn pedestrians who dodged streetcars in the city.[94]
Sportswriters in the early 20th century began referring to the Dodgers as the "Bums", in reference to the team's fans and possibly because of the "street character" nature of Jack Dawkins, the "Artful Dodger" in Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Newspaper cartoonist Willard Mullin used a drawing of famous clown Emmett Kelly to depict "Dem Bums": the team would later use "Weary Willie" in promotional images, and Kelly himself was a club mascot during the 1950s.[95][96]
Other team names used by the franchise were the Atlantics, Grays, Grooms, Bridegrooms, Superbas, and Robins: the Bridegrooms in the club's earliest years, the Superbas around the turn of the century, and the Robins thereafter. All of these nicknames were used by fans and sportswriters to describe the team, but not in any official capacity. The team's legal name was the Brooklyn Base Ball Club.[97] However, the Trolley Dodger nickname was used throughout this period, simultaneously with these other nicknames, by fans and sportswriters of the day. The team did not use the name in any formal sense until 1932 when the word "Dodgers" appeared on team jerseys.[8] That year the club allowed the Brooklyn baseball writers to select a permanent name, and on January 22, 1932 the writers chose Dodgers; the only other nickname seriously considered was Kings.[98] The "conclusive shift" came in 1933, when both home and road jerseys for the team bore the name "Dodgers".[9]
Examples of how the many popularized names of the team were used are available from newspaper articles before 1932. A New York Times article describing a game in 1916 starts out: "Jimmy Callahan, pilot of the Pirates, did his best to wreck the hopes the Dodgers have of gaining the National League pennant", but then goes on to comment: "the only thing that saved the Superbas from being toppled from first place was that the Phillies lost one of the two games played".[99] What is interesting about the use of these two nicknames is that most baseball statistics sites and baseball historians generally now refer to the pennant-winning 1916 Brooklyn team as the Robins. A 1918 New York Times article uses the nickname in its title: "Buccaneers Take Last From Robins", but the subtitle of the article reads: "Subdue The Superbas By 11 To 4, Making Series An Even Break".[100]
Another example of the use of the many nicknames is found on the program issued at Ebbets Field for the 1920 World Series, which identifies the matchup in the series as "Dodgers vs. Indians" despite the fact that the Robins nickname had been in consistent use for around six years. The "Robins" nickname was derived from the name of their Hall of Fame manager, Wilbert Robinson, who led the team from 1914 to 1931.[30]
Uniforms
The Dodgers' uniform has remained relatively unchanged since the 1930s.[101] The home jersey is white with "Dodgers" written in script across the chest in royal. The road jersey is gray with "Los Angeles" written in script across the chest in royal. The word "Dodgers" was first used on the front of the team's home jersey in 1933; the uniform was then white with red pinstripes and a stylized "B" on the left shoulder.[95] The Dodgers also wore green outlined uniforms and green caps throughout the 1937 season but reverted to blue the following year.[101]
The current design was created in 1939 and has remained the same ever since with only cosmetic changes. Originally intended for the 1951 World Series for which the ballclub failed to qualify, red numbers under the "Dodgers" script were added to the home uniform in 1952.[102] The road jersey also has a red uniform number under the script. When the franchise moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, the city name on the road jersey changed, and the stylized "B" was replaced with the interlocking "LA" on the caps in 1958.[95] In 1970, the Dodgers removed the city name from the road jerseys and had "Dodgers" on both the home and away uniforms.[101] The city script returned to the road jerseys in 1999,[101] and the tradition-rich Dodgers flirted with an alternate uniform for the first time since 1944 (when all-blue satin uniforms were introduced). These 1999 alternate jerseys had a royal top with the "Dodgers" script in white across the chest, and the red number on the front. These were worn with white pants and a new cap with a silver brim, a top button, and a Dodger logo. These alternates proved unpopular and the team abandoned them after only one season. They would, however, bring back the blue jerseys in recent years but only wear them in spring training games. In 2014, the Dodgers introduced an alternate road jersey: a gray version with the "Dodgers" script instead of the city name.[103] In 2018, the Dodgers wore their 60th anniversary patch to honor the 60 years of being in Los Angeles.[104][105]
In 2021, the Dodgers again unveiled a blue alternate uniform, this time as part of the "City Connect" series in collaboration with Nike. This uniform was similar to the blue alternates they wore in 1999, but with the script "Los Dodgers" in homage to Los Angeles' Latino community. The uniform is also worn with blue pants, and black stripes are added to the sleeves. Initially, the Dodgers wore a special blue cap with the "Los Dodgers" script but switched in 2022 to a blue interlocking "LA" cap with a black brim. The "Los Dodgers" script was then relocated to the right side. In 2023, white pants with blue piping replaced the blue pants previously worn with the "City Connect" uniform.[106]
Midway through the 2024 season, the Dodgers unveiled their second "City Connect" uniform. The cream-based uniform paid homage to the city of Los Angeles and various chapters of the city's history that are connected to the team. The "Los Angeles" wordmark was inspired by the signage of the Dodgers' original home of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and was slanted upward. The number font was inspired by the mid-century typefaces that were popular during the team's early years in Los Angeles. The uniform also featured two different shades of blue: cobalt and electric, while "chili red" was based on the chest number colors the team had worn since the 1950s. The cobalt blue cap featured the "interlocking LA" and script "D" from the "Dodgers" logo merged to form the LAD team code; the said logo also appears as a sleeve patch. Above the manufacturer's tag is the hashtag #ITFDB, a reference to broadcaster Vin Scully's catchphrase "It's time for Dodger baseball!".[107]
On April 2, 2026, the Dodgers unveiled a blue road alternate uniform, similar in makeup to their alternate gray "Los Angeles" script uniform. The sleeve patch contains the "Dodgers" script along with gray piping, and red chest numbers were outlined in gray to improve visibility. This marked the Dodgers' second time to wear a full-time blue alternate uniform (excluding their 2021–2023 "City Connect" uniform and Spring Training tops), having previously worn blue home alternates in 1999.[108]

Asian players

The Dodgers have been pioneers in signing players from Asia, particularly Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Then-owner Peter O'Malley began reaching out in 1980 by starting clinics in China and South Korea and building baseball fields in two Chinese cities. In 1998, the Dodgers became the first major league team to open an office in Asia.[109] They were the second team to start a Japanese player, and first in nearly 30 years (pitcher Hideo Nomo); the first team to start a South Korean player (pitcher Chan Ho Park); and the first to start a Taiwanese player (Chin-Feng Chen).[110]
In 2005, the Dodgers' Hee Seop Choi represented South Korea in the Home Run Derby.[110]
In the 2008 season, the Dodgers' roster included Park; Japan's Takashi Saito and countryman Hiroki Kuroda; and Taiwan's pitcher Hong-Chih Kuo and infielder Chin-Lung Hu.[111][112] On May 17, 2008, Park, Kuo and Saito became the first trio of pitchers from different Asian countries to pitch all nine innings of a major league game.[113]
For the 2013 season, the Dodgers signed starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu with a six-year, $36 million contract,[114] after posting a bid of $25.7 million to acquire him from the KBO's Hanwha Eagles. For the 2016 season, the Dodgers signed starting pitcher Kenta Maeda with an eight-year, $25 million contract, after posting a bid of $20 million to acquire him from the NPB's Hiroshima Toyo Carp.[115] For the 2024 season, the Dodgers signed free agent two-way player Shohei Ohtani with a 10-year, $700 million contract, the largest in professional sports history.[79]
World Series appearances
Since moving to Los Angeles, the Dodgers have won fourteen more National League Championships and eight more World Series rings.[31][21] In Brooklyn, the Dodgers won the NL pennant 12 times (1890, 1899, 1900, 1916, 1920, 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956). After moving to Los Angeles, the team won National League pennants in 1959, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1988, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2024, and 2025.[21]
The Dodgers have appeared in 23 World Series and won nine.[31][21] The franchise lost its first eight appearances before winning the 1955 World Series against the New York Yankees, its only championship while based in Brooklyn. Since moving to Los Angeles in 1958 the club has appeared in 14 World Series and won eight, most recently in 2025. Twelve of the 23 appearances have come against the Yankees.[f]

Ballparks
The franchise played in a series of Brooklyn grounds before moving into Ebbets Field in 1913, where it remained through the 1957 season.[29] After relocating to Los Angeles, the club spent four seasons at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum[56] and has played at Dodger Stadium since 1962.[57]
Brooklyn ballparks
The club played at Washington Park in South Brooklyn from its founding in 1883.[116] Because blue laws in Brooklyn and New York barred professional baseball on Sundays, the club also staged Sunday home games at Ridgewood Park in Queens in the late 1880s, where the statutes were enforced loosely. Sunday crowds there averaged 7,153, against 2,857 at Washington Park.[117]
Following the 1890 consolidation of the club with Brooklyn's Players' League entry, the team played at Eastern Park in East New York from 1891 to 1897. The site was distant from Brooklyn's population center, and attendance fell short of what Washington Park had drawn. Club president Charles Ebbets returned the team to a new Washington Park in 1898.[116]
By late 1911, Washington Park was no longer adequate, and in January 1912 Ebbets announced a replacement on 5.7 acres in the Flatbush section, on a site previously used as a garbage dump and known as Pigtown. Ebbets Field opened in April 1913 with seating for about 24,000. An expansion begun in 1931 raised capacity to a peak of 35,000 in 1937; it stood just under 32,000 in the ballpark's final season.[29]
The Dodgers played seven home games at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City in each of 1956 and 1957, at a rent of $10,000 a year.[46] Walter O'Malley sold Ebbets Field to the developer Marvin Kratter for $3 million in October 1956. The Dodgers played their final game there on September 24, 1957, before a crowd of 6,702, and the ballpark was demolished in 1960.[29]
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
The Dodgers played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum from 1958 to 1961.[56] With seating for more than 90,000, it was the largest ballpark to regularly host major league games.[56] Its baseball configuration placed the left-field foul line 250 feet from home plate, the shortest in the major leagues, and left-center field 320 feet away; a 40-foot screen was erected on the left-field wall to reduce home runs.[56] The first regular-season game there, on April 18, 1958, drew 78,672, at the time a major league record for a single game and a home-opener record that stood until the Colorado Rockies drew 80,227 in 1993.[56][118] An exhibition game against the New York Yankees on May 7, 1959, held to benefit Roy Campanella, the former Brooklyn catcher disabled in an automobile accident, drew 93,103, at the time a record crowd for an organized baseball game in the United States.[56] Game Five of the 1959 World Series drew 92,706.[56]
Dodger Stadium
Dodger Stadium opened on April 10, 1962. Ground was broken on September 17, 1959, and O'Malley financed the construction privately for $23 million, making it the first privately financed major league ballpark since Yankee Stadium in 1923.[57]
The stadium's listed capacity has been 56,000 since it opened. Andy McCue has attributed that figure to the conditional-use permit issued by the city, which required 16,000 parking spaces at a ratio of 3.5 people per space, rather than to a count of seats; a 1962 survey put the number of seats at 55,792.[119]
On March 25, 2026, the eve of Opening Day, the Dodgers announced a partnership with the Japanese retailer Uniqlo under which the company acquired the naming rights to the ballpark's playing field, which became UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium.[120][121] It was the first naming rights agreement in the ballpark's history, and the stadium's own name did not change.[121]
Chavez Ravine
The stadium stands on land in Chavez Ravine that had been occupied by three neighborhoods: La Loma, Palo Verde, and Bishop. In 1950, Los Angeles authorities used federal money made available under the Housing Act of 1949 to acquire the land for a public housing project, Elysian Park Heights. The project was abandoned after the planner Frank Wilkinson was dismissed in 1952 during anti-Communist investigations and Norris Poulson was elected mayor on a platform opposing public housing; his administration bought the land back from the federal government.[122]
The city council approved transferring the land to the Dodgers in 1957. Opponents forced a public referendum, held on June 3, 1958, at which the attempt to block the transfer was defeated by about 25,000 votes out of roughly 677,000 cast.[122] O'Malley acquired the site in part by transferring Wrigley Field, the club's minor league ballpark in Los Angeles, to the city.[57] The last residents of Chavez Ravine were evicted on May 9, 1959.[122]
Spring training
The Dodgers trained at Vero Beach, Florida, from 1948 to 2008, converting a former naval air station into a self-contained complex known as Dodgertown.[123][124] Branch Rickey had held the club's two previous camps outside the United States, in Havana in 1947 and Ciudad Trujillo in 1948, because Jackie Robinson and other African American players had been placed in segregated housing at the team's earlier training sites.[125] At Vero Beach the players lived, ate and trained on the site, and Dodgertown became the first fully integrated Major League Baseball spring training site in the South.[123]
Segregation persisted outside the complex. Maury Wills said that black players had difficulty finding a barber who would cut their hair in Vero Beach, and that he spent eight and a half seasons as a minor leaguer and three more with the major league club before he was permitted to move into the major league sleeping quarters.[124]
Walter O'Malley and the city agreed a 21-year lease in 1952 at a rent of one dollar a year plus the proceeds of one exhibition game, which O'Malley settled by handing a city official $21 in cash.[125] The lease gave him the confidence to build a stadium of just under 5,000 seats, named for Dodgers director Bud Holman, which opened in 1953.[125] Holman Stadium remains one of the oldest spring training venues still in use.[124]
The Dodgers kept the site after the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958 and were the last team from the western United States still training in Florida.[124] They played their final game at Vero Beach on March 17, 2008,[124] and moved to Camelback Ranch in Arizona for the 2009 season,[126] sharing the complex with the Chicago White Sox.[127] Dodgertown was designated a Florida Heritage Landmark in 2014,[123] and in 2019 it was added to the U.S. Civil Rights Trail, the only sports venue on the trail.[128]
Rivalries
The Dodgers' rivalry with the San Francisco Giants dates to the 19th century when the two teams were based in New York;[27] the rivalry with the New York Yankees took place when the Dodgers were based in New York, but was revived with their East Coast/West Coast World Series battles in 1963, 1977, 1978, and 1981.[33] The Dodgers' rivalry with the St. Louis Cardinals also dates back to their days in New York, but was most fierce during the 1960s, 1980s, and 2000s-2010s.[129]
The Dodgers also shared a heated rivalry with the Cincinnati Reds during the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s.[130] The Dodgers had even shared a rather volatile rivalry with divisional foes, the Arizona Diamondbacks during most of the 2010s.[131] Their intra-city rivalry with the Los Angeles Angels dates back to the Angels' inaugural season in 1961.[132][133] The Dodgers have recently revived an old Southern California-based rivalry with the San Diego Padres dating back to the Padres' inaugural season in 1969.[134] Most recently, the Dodgers have also regrown a heated rivalry against the former divisional foe Houston Astros after their move to the American League, due in no small part to the controversy of the 2017 World Series.[135]
Divisional
The Giants, Padres and Diamondbacks are the Dodgers' opponents in the National League West.
San Francisco Giants
The Dodgers–Giants rivalry is one of the oldest and fiercest rivalries in North American sports.[136][137]
The feud between the Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants began in the late 19th century when both clubs were based in New York City, with the Dodgers playing in Brooklyn and the Giants playing at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan. After the 1957 season, Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley moved the team to Los Angeles for financial and other reasons.[44] Along the way, Giants owner Horace Stoneham—who was considering moving his team to Minnesota—brought his club to San Francisco, preserving the rivalry on the West Coast.[138] New York baseball fans were stunned and heartbroken by the move.[44][139] Given that the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco have been bitter rivals in economic, cultural, and political arenas for over a century and a half, the new venue in California became fertile ground for its transplantation.
The Dodgers share a fierce rivalry with the San Francisco Giants, dating back to the franchises' time in New York City. Both teams moved west for the 1958 season.[140] The Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers have appeared in the World Series 23 times, while the New York/San Francisco Giants have appeared in the World Series 20 times. The Dodgers have won nine World Series titles, and the Giants have won eight.[141] When the two teams were based in New York, the Giants won five World Series championships, and the Dodgers won one. Since the move to California, the Dodgers have won eight World Series while the Giants have won three.[141]
Each team's ability to endure for over a century while moving across an entire continent, as well as the rivalry's leap from a cross-city to a cross-state engagement, have led to the rivalry being considered one of the greatest in American sports history.[142][143][144]
Unlike many other historic baseball match-ups in which one team remains dominant for most of their history, the Dodgers–Giants rivalry has exhibited a persistent balance in the respective successes of the two teams. Through the 2025 season the Giants led the all-time regular-season series 1,288–1,287, a margin of one game.[145] While the Giants have more wins in franchise history, the Dodgers have the most National League pennants at 26, with the Giants following close behind at 23. The Dodgers have won nine World Series titles to the Giants' eight. The 2010 World Series was the Giants' first championship since moving to California, while the Dodgers had won eight World Series titles since their move, their last title coming in the 2025 World Series.[21][141]
In 2021, the Dodgers and Giants both finished the regular season with over 100 wins, with the latter clinching the division with a record of 107–55. The Dodgers were one game behind with a record of 106–56, relegating them to the NL Wild Card Game, in which they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. This resulted in the first postseason matchup between the Dodgers and Giants in the NLDS. With a combined 213 regular season wins, this is the most number of regular season wins between competing teams in any MLB postseason series.[146] The Dodgers ultimately won in the decisive Game 5, but would lose in the NLCS to the eventual World Series champions: Atlanta Braves.[147]
San Diego Padres
The Padres' rivalry with the Dodgers has often been lopsided in favor of Los Angeles; however, recent growth between the two teams in competition has added intensity on top of proximity between Los Angeles and San Diego.[148][149]
Through the 2025 season the Dodgers led the all-time regular-season series 532–431, and the teams have met three times in the playoffs.[145] The Dodgers swept the Padres in the 2020 NLDS, won in five games in the 2024 NLDS, and the Padres won in four games in the 2022 NLDS.[150]
Arizona Diamondbacks
The rivalry between the Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks was one of the fiercest divisional matchups for multiple years, particularly during the 2010s when both teams were in regular contention for control of the division.[151] In addition to the elevated competition, animosity rose immensely between both sides resulting in multiple incidents involving either team throwing pitches at one another, occasionally escalating into several bench-clearing brawls.[152] Through the 2025 season the Dodgers led the all-time regular-season series 273–205.[145]
After eliminating the Diamondbacks and clinching the division on September 19, 2013, multiple Dodgers players celebrated the win by jumping into the pool at Chase Field.[131] On December 8, 2015, Zack Greinke signed a six-year, $206.5 million contract with the Diamondbacks in free agency.[153] Both teams met during the 2017 National League Division Series; the Diamondbacks were swept 3–0 by the Dodgers en route to their appearance in the World Series.[31] The teams rematched in the 2023 National League Division Series, with the Diamondbacks returning the favor with a 3–0 sweep of their own as they eventually reached the World Series.[31]
National League
The Cardinals and Reds play in other divisions of the National League.
St. Louis Cardinals
Primarily a playoff rivalry; since 1892, The Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals have met six times in the postseason. The Cardinals have won four, including two NLCS series, while the Dodgers won the 2009 NLDS and the 2021 National League Wild Card Game.[129][154] Through the 2025 season the Cardinals led the all-time regular-season series 1,113–1,085.[145]
Cincinnati Reds
The Dodgers' rivalry with the Cincinnati Reds was one of the most intense during the 1970s through the early 1990s.[130] They often competed for the NL West division title.[130] From 1970 to 1990, they had eleven 1–2 finishes in the standings, with seven of them being within 5½ games or fewer. Both teams also played in numerous championships during this span, combining to win 10 NL Pennants and 5 World Series titles from 1970–1990, most notably as the Big Red Machine teams clashed frequently with the Tommy Lasorda-era Dodgers teams. Reds manager Sparky Anderson once said, "I don't think there's a rivalry like ours in either league. The Giants are supposed to be the Dodgers' natural rivals, but I don't think the feeling is there anymore. It's not there the way it is with us and the Dodgers."[155] The rivalry ended when division realignment moved the Reds to the NL Central. However, they did face one another in the 1995 NLDS.[31] Through the 2025 season the Dodgers led the all-time regular-season series 1,211–1,164.[145]
American League
The Angels, Yankees and Astros are American League clubs. The Dodgers meet them during the regular season in interleague play, and have faced the Yankees and the Astros in the World Series.
Los Angeles Angels
This rivalry refers to a series of games played with the Los Angeles Angels.[133] The Freeway Series takes its name from the massive freeway system in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, the home of both teams; one could travel from one team's stadium to the other simply by traveling along Interstate 5. The term is akin to Subway Series, a term for meetings between New York City baseball teams. The term Freeway Series also inspired the official name of the region's NHL rivalry: the Freeway Face-Off. The clubs have met only in interleague play, and through the 2025 season the Angels led the series 81–73.[145]
Animosity between the team's fanbases grew in 2005, when the Angels' new team owner Arte Moreno changed the name of his ball club from the 'Anaheim Angels', to the 'Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim'.[156] Since the city of Anaheim is roughly 30 miles from Downtown Los Angeles, the Angels franchise was ridiculed throughout the league for the contradictory name, especially by Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, who filed a formal complaint to commissioner Bud Selig.[157] After the complaint was denied, McCourt ordered a t-shirt reading "The Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles", which remains popular among fans to this day.[158]
New York Yankees
The Dodgers and the Yankees have met 12 times in the World Series, more than any other two teams from the American and National Leagues.[33] The rivalry began when the Dodgers played in Brooklyn, and the two teams faced each other in seven Subway Series in the 1940s and 1950s.
After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, the rivalry continued as the teams represented two of the largest cities on each coast of the United States. Fan support has added to the notoriety of the series as both teams are supported by two of the largest fanbases in North America.[159]
Although the rivalry's significance arose from the two teams' numerous World Series meetings, the Yankees and Dodgers did not meet in the World Series between 1981 and 2024.[33] They did not play each other again in a non-exhibition game until 2004, when they played a three-game interleague series.[160] Nevertheless, games between the two teams have drawn sellout crowds.[161] Regular-season meetings remain rare: through the 2025 season the teams had played 25 times outside the World Series, the Dodgers leading 13–12.[145]
Houston Astros
The rivalry between the Dodgers and the Houston Astros began as a divisional matchup, but hostility waned after Houston moved to the American League.[135] In 2017, the two teams faced off in the 2017 World Series, which the Astros won in seven games using a sign-stealing system to steal pitch signs.[135][31] Through the 2025 season the Dodgers led the all-time regular-season series 397–334.[145] The teams are tied in postseason wins at 6–6.[31]
Fan support
Attendance rose from eleventh in MLB during the Dodgers' final season in Brooklyn to second in their first season in Los Angeles.[162] Team owner Walter O'Malley feared that the planned Dodger Stadium would be too large to fill regularly, but the Dodgers led the league in attendance by a sizeable margin for the 1962 season, nearly doubling that of the New York Yankees.[163]
Attendance records
In 1978 the Dodgers became the first MLB team to attract more than three million fans in a season, and repeated the feat six more times before any other franchise reached three million fans overall. The Dodgers drew at least three million fans for 15 consecutive seasons from 1996 to 2010, the longest such streak among all MLB teams.[22] The team's largest fan club, Pantone 294 (a reference to the Pantone code of Dodger blue), regularly travels to away games to cheer for the Dodgers.[164] The Dodgers have led the major leagues in attendance every season since 2013, excluding the shortened 2020 season, and in 2025 drew 4,012,470 fans, the highest season total in franchise history.[165][166]
On July 3, 2007, Dodgers management announced that total franchise attendance, dating back to 1901, had reached 175 million, a record for all professional sports.[167] In 2007, the Dodgers set a franchise record for single-season attendance, attracting over 3.8 million fans.[168] On March 29, 2008, the Dodgers set the world record for the largest attendance for a single baseball game during an exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in honor of the Dodgers' 50th anniversary, with 115,300 fans in attendance.[169] In 2009, the Dodgers led MLB in total attendance.[23] The Dodger baseball cap is consistently in the top three in sales.[170]
Primarily, Dodgers fans originate from most of southern or central California and also parts of southern Nevada. The fanbase has also extended out to states across the southwest such as Arizona, New Mexico and even western Texas.[171][172] Dodgers' away games throughout the US will usually attract substantial numbers of expats and traveling fans.[173]
Home games often draw Hollywood celebrities, including team co-owner Magic Johnson, Flea, Mary Hart, DaBaby, Larry King, Tiger Woods, Alyssa Milano, Shia LaBeouf, George Lopez, Lana Del Rey, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.[174] Some sit at field box seats behind home plate where they sign autographs for fellow Dodger fans. Actor Bryan Cranston is a lifelong Dodger fan.[175]

International
The Dodgers have a devoted following in Mexico because of Mexican players such as Fernando Valenzuela, Ismael Valdéz, and Julio Urias. The Sonora-born, California-raised Mel Almada, the first Mexican-born player to play in the MLB, played for the Dodgers near the end of his career in 1939. An estimated 54% of fans in home attendance are of Mexican descent.[177][178][179] The team boosted its Asian fanbase with players such as Hideo Nomo, Hiroki Kuroda, Kenta Maeda, and Yu Darvish. The Dodgers signed Chan Ho Park, the first South Korean-born MLB player, and in 2013, All-Star pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu. The team worked with the Korean communities of Los Angeles to launch an annual Korean Heritage night in 2016.[180] The Dodgers signed the first Taiwanese player in MLB: Chin-Feng Chen in 2002; other Taiwanese players such as Chin-Lung Hu and Chin-Hui Tsao later signed.[181]
The Dodgers signed Japanese star Shohei Ohtani, then launched theme nights in collaboration with Japanese companies such as Sanrio (which sponsored a Hello Kitty night, headlined by the national anthem being performed by Japanese musician and X Japan member Yoshiki),[182] and VTuber agency Hololive (which also coincided with Los Angeles' Anime Expo).[183]
Radio and television
As of 2025, the primary play-by-play announcers on television and radio, respectively, are Joe Davis and Tim Neverett, with Orel Hershiser (TV) and Rick Monday (radio) working as the primary color commentators. On some telecasts, Stephen Nelson will fill in for Davis during the latter's play-by-play assignments on Fox Sports' national MLB and NFL coverage. Nelson has also worked select radio broadcasts, particularly during postseason play. Nomar Garciaparra, Eric Karros, Dontrelle Willis and Jessica Mendoza often fill in for Hershiser on select games.[184] Charley Steiner is still listed as one of the Dodgers' radio announcers, but health concerns have limited his availability in recent years.[185]
From 1950 to 2016, almost all Dodger games were called by Vin Scully.[186] His longtime partners were Jerry Doggett (1956–1987) and Ross Porter (1977–2004).[186] In 1976, he was selected by Dodgers fans as the Most Memorable Personality (on the field or off) in the team's history. He is also a recipient of the Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasters (inducted in 1982). Unlike the modern style in which multiple sportscasters have an on-air conversation (usually with one functioning as play-by-play announcer and the other[s] as color commentator), Scully, Doggett, and Porter generally called games solo, trading with each other inning-by-inning. In the 1980s and 1990s, Scully would call the entire radio broadcast except for the third and seventh inning, allowing the other Dodger commentators to broadcast an inning. Fans and critics alike frequently praised Scully due in large part for his longevity with the team, and his ability to provide peculiar details about multiple players appearing onfield. Despite his longevity and a strong relationship with the team and fanbase, Scully was also praised for his relatively unbiased view of any game he called, often referring to the listeners as 'friends' instead of 'fans'.[187]
When Doggett retired after the 1987 season, he was replaced by Hall-of-Fame Dodgers pitcher Don Drysdale, who previously broadcast games for the California Angels and Chicago White Sox.[186] Drysdale died in his hotel room following a heart attack before a game in Montreal in 1993. This was a difficult broadcast for Scully and Porter who could not mention it on-air until Drysdale's family had been notified and the official announcement made.[188] He was replaced by former Dodgers outfielder Rick Monday.[186] Porter's tenure ended after the 2004 season, after which the format of play-by-play announcers and color commentators was installed, led by Monday and newcomer Charley Steiner.[186] Scully, however, continued to announce solo.
Scully called roughly 100 games per season (all home games and road games in California and Arizona)[189] for both flagship radio station KLAC and on television for Spectrum SportsNet LA. Scully was simulcast for the first three innings of each of his appearances, then announced only for the TV audience. If Scully was calling the game, Steiner took over play-by-play on the radio beginning with the fourth inning, with Monday as color commentator.[189] If Scully was not calling the game, Steiner and Orel Hershiser called the entire game on television while Monday and Kevin Kennedy did the same on radio. In the event the Dodgers were in post-season play, Scully called the first three and last three innings of the radio broadcast alone, and Steiner & Monday handled the middle innings.[190] Vin Scully retired from calling games in 2016. His tenure with the Dodgers was the longest with any single sports team at 67 years. Youthful announcer Joe Davis was selected in 2017 by Dodgers management to handle play-by-play on television with Orel Hershiser as his colorman.
The Dodgers also broadcast on radio in two other languages, Spanish and Korean. Upon moving to Los Angeles in 1958, the Dodgers became the first MLB team with a Spanish-language flagship station, KWKW (1300 AM), with a broadcast team that included René Cárdenas.[191][192] From 1959 to 2022, the Spanish play-by-play was voiced by another Frick Award winner, Jaime Jarrín. Until his death in 2024, a color analyst for some games was former Dodger pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, for whom Jarrin once translated post-game interviews. Valenzuela was joined on the Spanish booth in 2023 and 2024 by Pepe Yñiguez and José Mota, son of Dodger legend Manny Mota.[184] The Spanish-language radio flagship station is KTNQ. Meanwhile, the Dodgers' Korean broadcast began in 2013 through KMPC.[193][194]
In January 2013 Guggenheim Baseball Management reached a 25-year local television agreement with Time Warner Cable valued at $8.35 billion, a record for a regional sports rights deal, and launched SportsNet LA the following year. Rival distributors declined to carry the channel at the asking price, leaving most of the Los Angeles market unable to watch Dodgers games; the Justice Department sued DirecTV over the standoff in 2016, and the blackout did not end until a carriage agreement took effect in April 2020.[195]
Achievements
The Dodgers have won nine World Series championships in 23 appearances.[31][21] The club also honors individual players and staff through retired numbers, its Ring of Honor and the Legends of Dodger Baseball.
Retired numbers
Koufax, Campanella, and Robinson were the first Dodgers to have their numbers retired, in a ceremony at Dodger Stadium on June 4, 1972. Although other MLB teams had already been retiring numbers for decades, the Dodgers were late to the trend. The Dodgers had wanted to retire Robinson's No. 42 for some time, but Robinson had consistently rejected the honor due to a long-running grudge with Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley.[196] Robinson did not agree to appear at a number retirement ceremony until O'Malley handed over control of the team to his son Peter in 1970.[197]
Although the Dodgers website states that there are no "written 'criteria' for retiring uniform numbers," the team has historically retired only the numbers of individuals who played most of their career with the Dodgers and are members of the Baseball Hall of Fame.[198] (Underscoring the principle, Koufax, Snider, Reese, Drysdale, Lasorda, Sutton, and Hodges all had their numbers retired during the seasons in which they were inducted into the Hall. Robinson and Campanella had already been Hall of Famers for several years when their numbers were retired in 1972.) There have only been three exceptions:
- Manager Walter Alston's number was retired in 1977, the season after he retired as the Dodgers manager. At the time he retired, he had four World Series rings and was fifth all-time in managerial wins. Alston entered the Hall in 1983.[199]
- Infielder and coach Jim Gilliam's number was retired on October 10, 1978, days after his death at 49 just before that year's World Series. Gilliam played his entire 14-year career with the Dodgers and was still coaching the team when he died.[199]
- Pitcher and broadcaster Fernando Valenzuela's number was retired in 2023, one year before his death from liver cancer.[15] The Dodgers had previously declined to issue Valenzuela's No. 34 to any new players out of respect for Valenzuela's special role in Dodger history.[200][201] In a strange coincidence, Valenzuela spent 34 years with the Dodgers organization. Like Gilliam, he was still working for the team when he died.[15]
In 1997, 50 years after he broke the color barrier and 25 years after the Dodgers retired his number, Robinson's No. 42 was retired throughout Major League Baseball. Robinson is the only major league baseball player so honored.[202] Starting in the 2007 season, Jackie Robinson Day (April 15, commemorating the Opening Day of Robinson's rookie season of 1947) has featured many or all players and coaches wearing the number 42 as a tribute to Robinson.[203]
A broader term, the Dodgers "Ring of Honor", encompasses both the retired numbers and three non-baseball personnel whose insignia are displayed alongside the retired numbers. Longtime broadcasters Vin Scully (English) and Jaime Jarrín (Spanish) are honored with microphone symbols.[204][205] Team owner Walter O'Malley, who moved the Dodgers to Los Angeles, joined the Ring of Honor in 2024.[206] All three have been recognized by the Hall of Fame, O'Malley by induction,[207] and Scully and Jarrín by the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcasters.[208][209]

Managers
Since 1884, the Dodgers have used a total of 32 Managers,[62] the most current being Dave Roberts, who was appointed following the 2015 postseason, after the departure of Don Mattingly.[224]
Over the nearly 43 years from 1954 to mid-1996, the Dodgers employed only two managers, Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda, both of whom are in the Hall of Fame.[62] During this entire time period of extraordinary stability, the Dodgers were family-owned by Walter O'Malley and then his son Peter O'Malley.[20] It was during this era that the Dodgers won 11 of their 26 National League pennants and their first six World Series championships.[21]
The managers of the Los Angeles Dodgers (1958–present) are as follows:[62]

Public address announcers/organists
From the Dodgers' move to Los Angeles from Brooklyn in 1958, the Dodgers employed a handful of well-known public address announcers, the most famous of which was John Ramsey. Ramsey was the PA voice of the Dodgers from 1958, and also announced at other Los Angeles venues, including the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. He died in January 1990.[226]
Dennis Packer served as a back-up voice for Ramsey, later becoming public address announcer for the Angels, Dodgers, Clippers, Kings and Raiders.[227][228] Phillip Petty was a part-time public address announcer for the Dodgers and the California Angels.[229]
Nick Nickson, a radio broadcaster for the Los Angeles Kings, was the Dodger Stadium public address announcer from 1983 through the 1989 season.[230]
Packer announced the 1994 FIFA World Cup matches at the Rose Bowl.[227] Mike Carlucci later served as the Dodgers' public address announcer, and has also announced for the Ducks, UCLA baseball and at several Olympic Games.[231]
From 2003 to 2014, the Dodgers public address announcer was Eric Smith, who also announces for the Los Angeles Clippers and USC Trojans.[232] On April 3, 2015, the Dodgers announced that former radio broadcaster Todd Leitz was hired to become their new public address announcer. Leitz was an anchor and news reporter in Los Angeles at KNX 1070 AM for 10 years, and a news reporter at KABC 790 for two years.[233] From 1988 to 2015, Nancy Bea Hefley enjoyed popularity behind the Dodger Stadium keyboard similar to Gladys Goodding.[234] Since retirement in 2015, Bea's replacement and current organist is Dieter Ruehle, who also plays at Crypto.com Arena for Los Angeles Kings games.[234]
Other
Vin Scully is permanently honored in the Baseball Hall of Fame's "Scribes & Mikemen" exhibit as a result of winning the Ford C. Frick Award in 1982.[208][235] Frick Award recipients are not official members of the Hall.[235]
Allan Roth was the first person hired as the official statistician of a Major League team when he was hired by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.[216] He continued his tenure with Los Angeles until 1964.[216]
Sue Falsone joined the Dodgers in 2007 as the first female physical therapist in Major League Baseball.[221] The club hired her as head physical therapist and athletic trainer in October 2011, making her the first woman to serve as head athletic trainer in any of the four major U.S. professional sports leagues.[222] She held the position for the 2012 and 2013 seasons and announced her departure in October 2013.[236]

- ↑ McCue gives the accepted figure as $1,025,000; the O'Malley family's reference site states $1,050,000, a difference generally attributed to a side payment connected to the competing bid from the developer William Zeckendorf.[20]
- ↑ The transaction is most consistently reported at $311 million; some contemporaneous accounts valued the deal at up to $350 million, apparently including assumed obligations and real estate.
- ↑ Reported variously as $421 million, $430 million and $431 million, and as a net purchase price of $371 million.
- ↑ Accounts of the size of the Fox loan differ substantially, from roughly $145 million to approximately $330 million; the figures may describe different tranches of seller financing.
- ↑ The franchise has won 26 National League pennants but has appeared in 23 World Series. The pennants of 1890, 1899 and 1900 predate the modern World Series, first played in 1903. Brooklyn also took part in two 19th-century World's Series: it lost to the New York Giants six games to three in 1889 as champion of the American Association, and finished three games to three, with one tie, against the Louisville Colonels in 1890. Baseball-Reference's franchise total of 27 pennants counts that 1889 American Association championship alongside the 26 National League pennants.
- ↑ The World Series was a best-of-nine series from 1919 to 1921.

- ↑ The 1981 season was split in two by a players' strike. The Dodgers went 36–21 in the first half and 27–26 in the second.
- ↑ The 2020 season was shortened to 60 games because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- ↑ No fans were allowed at games during the 2020 Major League Baseball regular season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- ↑ Dodger Stadium operated at 33% capacity From April to June 15 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The billowy script Dodgers in an alluring angle and a blue so distinctive that it has come to bear the name of the team. The red numbers that pop, as if dropped straight from the heart to the left upper abdomen. The interlocking LA on the sleeve, matching the simple-but-distinctive blue caps. All of these elements combine to make the Dodgers' home white somehow shine a little bit brighter. It is a timeless, trimless look, baseball's accouterment answer to the American flag.

The golden logo is contained in the signature hexagon shape found throughout Dodger Stadium. The Club's iconic Dodger Blue creates the logo's dimension, while the star features a splash of red reminiscent of the Dodgers' classic jerseys. Stylistically these icons and colors create a unique Los Angeles theme to MLB's Midsummer Classic.

When it comes to looks, there's no one with a more classic jersey set than the Dodgers. Simple but timeless, the Dodger blue script across the chest and the interlocked L.A. on the hat are recognizable around the world. The thing that pops out the most, though? The red numbers on the front, which were introduced in the 1950s when the Dodgers became the first team to include numbering on the front of a jersey.
