Lowest price:$19.99Description: From the moment they became a part of everyday life in Brooklyn- the Dodgers were something special. Night after night they battled- winning the hearts of fans both young and old. But then they would face the Yankees in the World Series- and “Dem Bums” would break those very same hearts. “Wait until next year” became the mantra in Brooklyn — and following five gut-wrenching World Series losses to those Yankees- “next year” finally came in 1955 when the Dodgers became world champions. Two seasons later- the team moved to Los Angeles- where in 1959 they again captured the title. The days of Pee Wee Reese- Duke Snider and Jackie Robinson gave way to Sandy Koufax- Maury Wills and Don Drysdale — and two more championships followed in 1963 and ’65. Fernandomania rocked Los Angeles in the early ’80s — and both Valenzuela and Steve Garvey helped lead the Dodgers to still another title in ’81. Then came the magical season of 1988 when Orel Hershiser rewrote the record books — and Kirk Gibson simply wrote a fairy tale. Bonus Features Include: Tommy Lasorda’s Hall of Fame Speech- Don Drysdale’s Hall of Fame Speech and Duke Snider’s Hall of Fame Speech. Officially Licensed by MLB
