The Los Angeles Dodgers family lost a beloved member this past February when Don Newcombe passed away at the age of 92 after a lengthy battle with illness.
His death was mourned by Kenley Jansen, Sandy Koufax, Justin Turner and Vin Scully, among others within the organization. It was symbolic of the impact Newcombe continued to have on the Dodgers decades after his playing career wound to a close.
The legendary right-hander was a fixture at Dodger Stadium, regularly sitting with not only current Dodgers but also opposing players who sought his wisdom.
