Los Angeles - Los Angeles Dodgers schedule

The names Durocher, Reiser, Walker, Robinson, Campanella, Reese, Snider, Furillo, Hodges, Cox, Branca, Erskine, Roe, Black, Newcombe, and Labine would become as distinct to the Dodgers as Campbell was to soup. They would bring to Brooklyn fans-whose patience with a loser through the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression was stoic and constant-one of the most exciting eras in all baseball history. It really began in 1941, the summer before Pearl Harbor; Donald Honig described it in The Brooklyn Dodgers as "a glorious summer to live in Brooklyn, be a Dodger fan, and have 55 cents for a bleacher seat." Leo Durocher was in his third year as man­ager of the Dodgers and was still listed on the ros­ter as a shortstop, although lie started 22-year-old Pee Wee Reese ahead of himself at that position. "The Lip," as Durocher was appropriately known, feuded as much and as openly with general ranger Larry MacPhail as he did with umpires on the field, but together lie and MacPhail were molding a winner. Macl'hail had gone to the trading table and secured the services of veterans like first base­man Dolph Camilli, outfielders Dixie Walker and Ducky Medwick, catcher Mickey Owen, and a pitching staff headed by Whit Wyatt, Kirby Higbe, and Hugh Casey. Before the season was out he would add future Hall of Famer Billy Herman at second base. And, of course, there was the blos­soming of Dodgers youths: Pee Wee Reese, Pete Reiser, and Cookie Lavagetto.

Cincinnati had been the team to beat in 1939 and 1940, and no one came close to doing it. They were still considered the leagues best in 1941, reliving mainly on a pitching staff highlighted by Buck Walters, Paul Derringer, and Johnny Vander Meer. They were vulnerable when it came to hitting, however, and that ultimately kept them from being a real threat that year. Instead, it was the St. Louis Cardinals whom the Dodgers would have to van­quish. Much more historic than Durocher’s departure at the start of the 1947 season was the arrival in Brooklyn of 28-year-old speedster Jackie Robinson, who, it was said, could bat and field with the very best in the major leagues. Branch Rickey had signed him the year before for the Dodgers minor league club in Montreal, thus bringing the first black player into the major league farm club sys­tem. Robinson bad been a blazing success in Canada; now he was to become the first black to play major league baseball. Since the Dodgers still had Eddie Stanky at second base that year, Jackie Robinson was sta­tioned at first base, where the Dodgers were weak. The only other lineup change for 1947 occurred when Spider Jorgensen won the starting job at third from Cookie Lavagetto.
