Their greatest player ever was Koufax. I guess they’re just anti-semitic (sigh).

I am just fine with Jackie Robinson to be the first.

Assuming there will also be others over time, I believe Sandy Koufax was the most dominating pitcher in the game, at his peak.

An obvious choice and one that I would agree with. Others to consider:

Roy Campenella - Over 100,000 fans filled the Coliseum to pay tribute. Campy never played a game there as Dodger.

Walt Alston - Class act, great manager.

Vinnie - nuff said

Tommy - He bleeds Dodger blue

Koufax - Another class act. One of the, if not the best lefty ever.

Rick Monday - With the flag in hand (and yes, he was a Cubby then, but will always be a Dodger

Kirk Gibson - Pumping his arm of course.

Who did I miss?

In addition to Jackie, it seems inevitable that statues will also ensue for Vin Scully, Walter O’Malley, Sandy Koufax, and Tommy Lasorda—at a minimum.

FYI Jackie Robinson was a “Rockefeller Republican.”

“the statue will be 9 to 10 feet tall”
Jackie was a giant.

I would submarine ball pitcher Don Drysdale there second and Sandy Koufax first. I have nothing against Jackie Robinson but putting his statue there is PC nonsense
