The 50 Greatest Players in Dodgers History examines the careers of the 50 men who made the greatest impact on one of Major League Baseball's oldest and most iconic franchises. Using as measuring sticks the degree to which they impacted the fortunes of the team, the extent to which they added to the Dodgers legacy - in both Brooklyn and Los Angeles - and the levels of statistical compilation and overall dominance they attained while wearing a Dodgers uniform, sports historian Robert W. Cohen ranks, from 1 to 50, the top 50 players in team history. Quotes from opposing players and former teammates are provided along the way, as are summaries of each player's greatest season, most memorable performances, and most notable achievements. Also included is a list of 25 honorable mentions and the all-time All-Star team from each city and both cities combined. Sure to spark debate among the team's broad fanbase, this book will allow readers to test their knowledge of their favorite players and challenge Cohen's rankings against their own. Fans will rediscover all-time Brooklyn greats such as Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, and Duke Snider, read about Los Angeles legends Sandy Koufax and Clayton Kershaw, and learn about forgotten Hall of Famers Dazzy Vance and Zack Wheat.
