The Big Blue Wrecking Crew

With the addition of Mookie Betts and the maturation of other YOUNG players, I think it may be time to bring back that moniker. The name “Big Blue Wrecking Crew” has been utilized any number of times throughout Los Angeles Dodger history, even on a LP Album featuring Steve Yeager, Rick Monday Jay Johnstone, and Jerry Reuss.

But, it has generally been applied to the group of Dodgers who bashed 30 home runs each in during the 1977 season: Steve Garvey (33) Reggie Smith (32), Ron Cey (30), and Dusty Baker (30).
