A few days ago after reading one of my stories’s on a Dodger decade, Hodges asked if I would consider doing the same thing for the Dodgers last years in Brooklyn. I thought this was a great idea simply because those teams were the most successful ever in Brooklyn. Oh, they had some good teams before then, but never a stretch as they had from 47 to 57. And it all started with the arrival of Jackie Robinson and a few others who would soon be known as “The Boys of Summer”.
No Dodger team had ever been to 2 World Series in a row.
