About this ebook
Now revised and updated for 2023! 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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A thorough, concise history of the Dodgers in Los Angeles from their move to the LA area, 'till 2014, the book's publication date. The events are brief, and this is a very quick read! Especially as there are a bit over 20 pages of statistics at the end! The major positive to this collection is that it does have fairly recent stories, which sets it apart from the other Dodger books I've read lately. Heck, Yasiel Puig is on the cover! If you are a Dodger fan, like me, you'll like this read!
