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?

Leo Durocher.

He wasn’t that great a player but was a successful manager.

My favorite all-time player. The only lefty in the Dodger lineups on their World Series teams in the '70s.

Duke Snider's #4 was retired. He deserves serious consideration.

How about missing the obvious...

Steve Garvey and his many children conceived out of wedlock.

Poster boy for government dependency and he’s white, so, not racist.
