After 2000, Malone was out as GM and Johnson was out as the manager. Former Dodger pitching coach, Dave Wallace was the interim GM and Jim Tracy was named…
Keith Hernandez (11 Gold Gloves) and Don Mattingly (9 Gold Gloves) were both 1 inch taller than JT3. See, maybe some of you don't understand this, but the baseball glove doesn't sit on top of your head! It's attached to your hand
The Dodgers entered the 80's with the infield still intact, but the team was getting old. All but one of the starting 8, CF Rudy Law (23), were 31 or older.…
