The key to baseball success begins and ends with the quality of a team’s starting pitching. Winners of six World Series titles, the Los Angeles Dodgers have had no shortage of great starting pitchers over the years.
Between a stable of local heroes and five Hall of Fame arms wearing Dodgers caps ( two with Brooklyn and three from the Los Angeles days), some of the best to even straddle the bump in baseball history have worn Dodger blue. Arms like Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, and Don Sutton helped to pave the way while Fernando Valenzuela, Orel Hershiser, and Clayton Kershaw have carried the torch forward.
