Since moving from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958, the Dodgers have had
an eventful--and frequently successful--history. From playing in the
100,000-seat Coliseum to seven World Series titles, from Fernandomania
to Mannywood, and from Sandy Koufax to Clayton Kershaw, the Boys in Blue
have long been a team to watch.
This history of the Dodgers provides a closer look at the great moments
and the lowlights that have made them one of the seminal teams in the
major leagues. Through multiple interviews conducted with current and
former players, readers will meet the athletes, coaches, and management
and share in their moments of triumph and defeat.
The author recalls key moments in Dodgers history such as the building
and breakup of the Garvey-Lopes-Russell-Cey infield, the sad decline of
Steve Howe, the amazing comeback at the tail-end of the 1980 season, and
the Frank McCourt saga. If These Walls Could Talk: Los Angeles Dodgers
brings the storied history of the team come to life.
