Book Description
The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of baseball's most vibrant and beloved franchises, and everything you need to know about them is in Dodgers Essential: the clutch hitters, the dominating pitchers, and the memorable flakes. Looking for a handy reference for milestones in Dodgers history? It's here, as are the greatest moments and biggest disappointments, the biggest goats and the biggest heroes, and all the personalities that make the Dodgers such an endearing and captivating club: Hall of Fame legends like Duke Snider and Jackie Robinson; World Series heroes like Sandy Koufax and Kirk Gibson; and today's stars like Jeff Kent and Nomar Garciaparra.
Publisher Description
"Dodgers Essential is a great look back at Dodgers history. [Author Steven Travers] gives it to you straight, filled with homage to all the things that make Dodgers baseball great: Jackie Robinson, Branch Rickey, Sandy Koufax, Steve Garvey, and, of course, Vin Scully, just to name a few." -- Los Angeles sportswriter Bud "the Steamer" Furillo
Reader Reviews
I am a diehard Dodger fan and have loved the Dodgers since I was a very young child. I grew up going to the games and listening to Vin Scully describe the action. I was excited to jump into yet another retrospective on Dodger Blue, but unfortunately found that there isn't anything new here. The author takes the reader through some fairly standard Dodger history moments, consistantly interjecting the narrative with factoids and certain little known facts. However, though I found parts of this story to be fun, overall I felt the writing lacked consistancy, and the narrative was jumpy and confusing. The author seems like a kind enough fellow, but his writing could use some polish and editing. This book seems to pull a lot of its information from other, already known Dodger tomes, such as True Blue, The Illustrated History of the Dodgers, and The Dodger Encyclopedia. If you are looking for real Dodger history, check those out, and if you just want something light and fun to plow through while you wait for the season to start, I would check out 101 Reasons to Love The Dodgers.
