Over the last eight seasons, no team has won as many games as Dave Robert’s Dodgers. 753. His teams have won seven division titles, three NL pennants, and a World Series. Lasorda and Alston, probably the two most celebrated managers in Dodger history, never came close to that kind of success.
Different eras, of course. Lasorda’s teams won two World Series, seven years apart. His 1977 and 1978 teams went to the World Series and lost. He lost the 1983 and 1985 playoffs. His team also lost the 1995 playoff series to the Reds.
Alston won Brooklyn’s only title in his second year at the helm.
