About the Author
In this photographic journey, official team historian and former baseball reporter Mark Langill details the surprising confluence of circumstances that make the Los Angeles Dodgers so extraordinary. The team's historic move from the East Coast signaled a major westward expansion of the major leagues. In 1978, the team made history by being the first to draw more than 3 million fans in one season. Thanks to unprecedented community support and the amazing abilities of its players, the Dodgers have remained one of sport's most storied franchises and an endless source of pride for the city of Los Angeles..

Dodger History At Its Best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Los Angeles Dodgers (CA) (Images of Baseball) (Paperback)
Mark Langill's retelling of the history of the Dodgers, intertwined with his unique blend of quick wit & humor make this book a most indredible journey. The images he has chosen to share, capture the essence of each decade of Dodger lore. Langill's insight was especially appreciated as he describes some of the most important highlights of the great Dodger players and moments of the past. It is an outstanding book and I enjoyed it tremendously!
