The Dodgers: 120 Years of Dodgers Baseball

1 review
Glenn Stout, Richard A. Johnson

Houghton Mifflin, 2004

Dodger History Primer
Clearly 120 years of baseball seasons gives you a lot to write about. Like most LA Dodgers fans my understanding of Dodger history comes almost entirely from listening to Vin Scully announcing games. This book helps fill in the gaps. The book is an easy read and covers all of the main events and people in Dodger history. This book is for people who want to know the Dodger history basics ...

Miracle in Chavez Ravine: The Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988
William F. McNeil

McFarland, 2008

After winning the 1981 World Series and raising the expectations of management and fans, the Los Angeles Dodgers followed up with six years of disappointing finishes. By the time they ended the 1987 season 17 games behind the hated Giants, general manager Fred Claire had seen enough. Over the winter Claire radically restructured the team, bringing in fiery players like outfielder Kirk Gibson, closer Jay Howell and shortstop Alfredo Griffin to ...

Rick Monday's Tales from the Dodger Dugout (Tales)
Rick Monday

Sports Publishing, 2006

It took something truly remarkable to save the 1981 Major League Baseball season from being remembered only as the year of the players? strike. It took the Los Angeles Dodgers: Fernandomania and ?Sorda and Garv and Bake and the Penguin. It took three amazing October comebacks to beat the Houston Astros, the Montreal Expos and, finally, the New York Yankees, avenging Dodger World Series losses to the Yankees in 1977 and 1978. Rick Monday was ...

Greatest Ballpark Ever: Ebbets Field And the Story of the Brooklyn Dodgers

Brooklyn As It Once Was-The Greatest Place to Grow Up
What differentiated this book from the countless others witten about the Brooklyn Dodgers was the author's attention to small detail. Now being from Brooklyn myself I appreciated this. The references to Steeplechase and the clown with paddles, Jim McElroy bring the Torre brothers to games at Ebbets field, the old Washington Park, Jack Kaiser, etc. For the average baseball fan outside of ...

The Artful Dodger: Images and Reflections

Nick Bantock, 2000

Fun and engaging work for fans
Autobiography written in a very relaxed, informal, and fun style. Excellent use of samples of his work from various times in his career as a great counterpoint to the text. Absolutely recommend this for people who are already fans of his work, and I also recommend it for people who like to learn about the creative process, how a particular artist develops their style and what their inspirations ...

Do We Need Another Book About The Brooklyn Dodgers? Yes!
Forests have been felled with books written about the much beloved Brooklyn Dodgers. Roger Kahn, Carl Erskine, Red Barber, and numerous others have relished telling us what life was like with Brooklyn baseball, especially from the years 1947 through 1957. In addition, numerous authors have written about Jackie Robinson. However, author Dennis D'Agostino and Bonnie Crosby, daughter of Barney ...

Dodger and Me

Jordan Sonnenblick

Feiwel & Friends, 2008

Humor with Heart
Hilarious! An insecure boy, his new friend (a large blue chimp named Dodger), and lots of adventure and baseball. Readers of all ages will appreciate Dodger's surfer accent (very funny to read aloud). If your young reader is too old for Captain Underpants and is reading longer books, this is perfect. It's not easy to find funny books with a great story, and this one delivers. Can't wait for the ...

Illustrated History of the Dodgers
As a long time Dodger baseball fan (over 50 years), I found the book very informative, intereting reading, and sprinkled with good photos. Great book for any Dodger fan. The book does a good job in a chronilogical order of telling the story of the organization - players, management, and owners. There were many tidbits that I learned new or did not remember until reading the book.

Good Read
For those of us still in the Brooklyn area and those who ventured far away, this book takes you back to the care-free days of the "Brooklyn Bombers." Go for it!

TOMMY BLEEDS DODGER BLUE
THIS IS THE STORY OF TOMMY LASORDA. THIS FORMER PLAYER AND MANAGER DOES A GOOD JOB TELLING HIS STORY AS THE MANAGER OF THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS. IT IS VERY WELL DONE AND I SUGGEST IT FOR ALL DODGER FANS. AT TIMES HE COMES ACROSS AS BEING A KNOW IT ALL AND AROGANT, BUT HE CAN BACK IT UP. A VERY INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING READ.

big dodger fan
I have been a big Dodger fan for more than twenty years, and I loved this book. It allowed me to relive all the memorable events in Dodger history, particularly the World Series coverage of the 1981 and 1988 World Championships. Mickey Hatcher, Kirk Gibson, and Fernando, were three of my heroes. I also enjoyed all the player biographies, like Bill Russell, Bill Buckner, Ron Cey, and Pedro ...

The Dodgers Move West

5 reviews
Neil Sullivan

Oxford University Press, USA, 1989

Highly objective and wothwhile
I was a sad 10-year-old Brooklyn kid when I learned the dodgers were going to leave us. Like most everyone around, I tended to blame Walter O'Malley's greed. Yet in the end it may have been O'Malley's vanity more than his greed that was most responsible for the fateful decision. As Neil Sullivan so well points out, a strong case can be made that O'Malley didn't really want to leave at first. ...

Carl Erskine's Tales from the Dodgers Dugout: Extra Innings

Carl Erskine

Sports Publishing LLC, 2004

It was a fun read.
Carl Erskine's short stories of baseball in the early '50's refreshed my memories of growing up in Upstate New York. I remember vividly the cross-town rivalries of the Dodgers and the Yankees. I remember the World Series of 1956 when Don Larson pitched his masterpiece against the Dodgers. It is refreshing to read about those experiences, and to read about the background of the game itself. ...

The Los Angeles Dodgers (Team Spirit Book)
Mark Stewart

Norwood House Paper Editions, 2008

The Team Spirit series paints an engaging, detailed yet accessible picture of professional sports teams. By focusing on the teams' histories, great victories and memorable personalities, the books have an enduring quality that will not go out of date quickly. The text is enhanced by plenty of full color photographs as well as reproductions of vintage trading cards and team memorabilia.

Thomas Hart Hawley

Adams Media Corporation, 2004

Candy coated estate planning
Sitting down to read a book on estate planning ranks right up there with a root canal on my list of favorite pastimes. But this book is refreshingly different. It really is possible to get solid information on a serious legal topic and have fun at the same time! As an attorney specializing in the field, Hawley knows his stuff. He also knows how to write in an entertaining, humorous way. Maybe the ...
