ATLANTA -- Dodgers photographer Jon SooHoo took a team photo on the infield right after Los Angeles clinched the pennant last year at Wrigley Field. In the last row, almost invisible, was Rick Honeycutt. But if anyone has been front and center in the franchise's success for more than a decade, it's the pitching coach.
Since Honeycutt was hired in 2006, the Dodgers have had four managers and eight hitting coaches. The numbers show Honeycutt, who spent 21 seasons as an MLB pitcher, hasn't lost the fastball in his 13th year in charge of Los Angeles' pitching staff.
