Tony Phillips posted:The other Dodgers streak was actually 4 in a row. 79-82 with Sutcliffe, Howe, Valenzuela and Sax. Dodgers won the first one (Jackie Robinson) and have won a total of 17 (!!) over the years. No other franchise has more than 8... say what you want about them, but the Dodgers have always been able to develop talent. Robinson - HOF Newcombe - drat good pitcher Joe Black - serviceable Jim Gilliam - serviceable. Frank Howard - above average hitter Jim Lefebvre - never mind Ted Sizemore - move along Rick Sutcliffe - great pitcher for a solid decade Steve Howe - great but couldn't get out of drugs Fernando Valenzuela - great for nearly a decade Steve Sax - Mr Burns' second baseman Eric Karros - very good for a decade Mike Piazza - HOF Raul Mondesi - solid for 6-8 years Hideo Nomo - solid for a decade Todd Hollandsworth - solid 4th/5th for a decade Corey Seager - legit superstar.

Dodgers also have more Cy Young Awards than any other team by a healthy margin (12 vs three teams tied at 7). Pitching and prospects.

Pre Randy Johnson days - I was pretty sure he was the biggest man I'd ever see in a uniform. Also - looking at his stats, drat the near dead ball 60s. The counting stats don't look that great, but I'd take that 142 OPS+ all day. Not a hall of famer or anything, but overall better than I ever would have guessed.

Two races he's lost have been close and the third he legit got beat by a good length. And these are just randos they're pulling from the crowd, presumably. I wasn't saying what he's doing isn't cool/impressive, I'm saying the guys that have beat him are. Apparently former and current players have challenged him but he won't race them, per the article.

I'm following the Rays on their 8 game road trip, so I'm currently in Pittsburgh, then I'll go to Baltimore, then Chicago for the Cubs. PNC Park is not fair to other parks. It should be less cool.
