My all time favourite player is Sandy Koufax. He is the
one Dodger that would be on an all time all star team. A close second
is Duke Snider. Although overshadowed by Mays and Mantle in New York,
The Duke was quite a player.
I also liked many of the Boys Of Summer, Gil Hodges, Roy Campanella,
Carl Furillo,, Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reece as well as several
pitchers; Carl Erskine, Don Newcombe, Johnny Podres and Clem Labine. A
lesser player that I liked a lot was Jim Gilliam. Lastly, I like Mike
Piazza.
My favourite current player is Russell Martin. :-)
This question was posted in another group and I think it's a
good one. Who is your favorite all time Dodger and why? Also, please
list a player or players that you have actually seen play. I know a
lot of people might want to name players like Campanella or Koufax but
if you haven't seen them, like me, then please don't name them. It's
been a long offseason so I'm trying to find things to talk about.
I will start. I like certain players for certain reasons.
When I was a kid I liked Steve Yeager and Ron Cey. Then when I got
older I liked Steve Sax and Mike Marshall. Pitchers I liked Fernando
and Orel. Orel was great as we all know my special friendship with
him. Later I liked Hideo Nomo and Chan Ho Park as well as Shawn Green,
Jose Lima (the best one year guy), Paul Loduca (that love has kind of
died though after the Mitchell Rep!
ort) and Adrian Beltre. Right now my favorite players are Russell
Martin and Nomar Garciaparra.
