". . . we had five outfielders during their career that were All-Stars. All four infielders were multiple All-Stars, one catcher that became an All-Star, plus seven pitchers that were or became All-Stars." - Ron Cey, talking about the 1981 team
Between games 53 and 68, the Dodgers tied a MLB record, by alternating wins and losses for 16 games. (The 1974 Phillies were the only other team to do this.)
