The Los Angeles Dodgers have a very special player who represents the second base position across all of baseball. Number 42 is retired in major league stadiums for reasons larger than the sport of baseball, which is why you can’t talk about Dodger second basemen without immediately thinking of Jackie Robinson.
In ranking the best second basemen in Dodgers history, I thought it was important to start with Jackie and then let the real debate begin in ranking the rest of the players on the list. You will find out why Robinson is worthy of the top ranking from a purely baseball standpoint.
