Synopsis

Among the most successful franchises in the long and glorious history of baseball, the Dodgers have captured 25 pennants and have been crowned world champions seven times; only five teams in history have claimed more World Series titles. The Dodgers are baseball's most transformative franchise. In 1947, Jackie Robinson changed the face of baseball and America. They built Dodgertown in 1948; became the first major-league team to own a plane; and spurred the move west in 1958, where Sandy Koufax redefined pitching dominance. Herein lies the story of the men who have worn Dodger blue on their way to becoming baseball immortals, forever enshrined in Cooperstown's Baseball Hall of Fame.
