Remember When?

Over the years, many times the Dodgers have brought in MLB veterans who were very good at one time and were acquired by the Dodgers when the end was near. And it happened in Brooklyn many times too. Lefty O’Doul was 34 when he joined Brooklyn. The guy was a great hitter as shown by his .349 career batting average. In three years with the Dodgers O’Doul hit .340. He won his second batting title at age 35 in 1932 as a member of the Dodgers with a .368 mark. He played 43 games for Brooklyn in 33 before being traded to the Giants.
