The Dodgers have spread the gospel of baseball more than any other franchise, providing platforms for the likes of Jackie Robinson, Fernando Valenzuela, Hideo Nomo and Chan Ho Park. They have established the standard for pitching with rotations that have included stars such as Sandy Koufax and Clayton Kershaw.
Of the franchise's six World Series championships, four were won in an 11-year period from 1955 to 1965.
After winning the 1965 World Series, the Dodgers had to wait 16 years for their next championship. Their current titleless streak is at 30 years.
