The1966 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 77th season for theLos Angeles Dodgers franchise inMajor League Baseball (MLB), their 9th season inLos Angeles,California, and their 5th season playing their home games atDodger Stadium inLos Angeles California. The Dodgers won theNational League championship with a 95–67 record (1+12 games over theSan Francisco Giants), but were swept by theBaltimore Orioles in theWorld Series.

Regular season

[edit]

Sandy Koufax became the first pitcher to win three Cy Young Awards in a career.[1]

Season recap

[edit]

The defending World Series champion Dodgers relied upon the same model that brought them the championship in 1965; great pitching, tight defense, and speed. However, ace pitchersSandy Koufax andDon Drysdale held out nearly all of spring training in a celebrated contract dispute, finally signing just before the start of the regular season. The hold out did not seem to affect Koufax, who went 27–9 with a 1.73 E.R.A. However, Drysdale had a sub par season going 13–16 with a 3.42 E.R.A. More than making up for that,Claude Osteen had his best season to date, winning 17 games with a 2.85 E.R.A., and rookieDon Sutton replaced agingJohnny Podres in the rotation, chipping in with 12 wins and a 2.99 E.R.A. Finally, relieverPhil Regan had a remarkable year, going 14–1 with 21 saves.

The National League race was a 4 team affair between the Dodgers, Giants, Pirates, and Phillies, with all but the Phillies taking their turn in 1st place during the summer. The Dodgers vaulted to the top with an 8-game win streak in mid-September. However, the pennant was still not decided until the final day of the season. The Giants, who had eliminated the Pirates by beating them on the next to last day, needed to beat the Pirates again in the season's final game, and then hope the Dodgers would lose both games of a double header in Philadelphia to the Phillies. If that happened, the Giants would have trailed the Dodgers by 1/2 game, and would still have had to fly to Cincinnati to play the Reds in a make-up game, needing a win to tie for 1st. The Giants defeated the Pirates in extra innings, and the Dodgers lost the first game of the double header, blowing a lead in the 8th inning. However, while the Giants were waiting at the Pittsburgh airport (not knowing if they were going to fly to Cincinnati or go home), Koufax beat the Phillies in the second game of the double header. While they were waiting, a reporter asked Giants pitcherRon Herbel "you guys don't know where you're going yet, do you?" Herbel replied "we know where we're going. No way superman (Koufax) loses the second game."[citation needed]

[edit]
Main article:1966 Major League Baseball draft

This was the secondMajor League Baseball draft. The Dodgers drafted 67 players in the June draft and 9 in the January draft. The top draft pick was pitcher Lawrence Hutton from Greenfield High School inGreenfield, Indiana. He played in the Dodgers farm system through 1971 and finished with a 22–28 record and 4.33 ERA in 117 games, never advancing past AA.

The most successful picks from this draft class wereBill Russell andCharlie Hough. Russell, the ninth round pick out ofPittsburg High School played with the Dodgers through 1986, mostly as ashortstop and later managed the team from 1996 to 1998. Hough was drafted in the eighth round out ofHialeah High School as an infielder but quickly converted to pitcher. He played with the Dodgers through 1980 and then with three other teams until he retired in 1994. He later became a coach for the Dodgers organization.
