This is another "for posterity" post.
I'm trying to determine which major league records are held by Dodgers. I've always had the feeling that they don't hold a lot of them. They seem to be held mostly by Yankees or bulbous-headed steroid users or other such nonsense. Or maybe it's just my inferiority complex.
The Dodgers have gotten along pretty well without setting a lot of records, but I think I'm missing some. So that's the reason for the post. I'm going to list what I know here, and then add more as I stumble across them. As always, if you know of major league marks held by Dodgers, please let me know.
Here is what I've got right now -- basically off the top of my head:
Karl Spooner, starting pitcher, 1954-55
MLB record held: Most strikeouts, game, rookie (tie), 15 (Sept. 22, 1954 vs. Giants).
Gil Hodges, first baseman, 1943, 1947-61
MLB record held: Most home runs, game (tie), four (Aug. 30, 1950 vs. Braves).
Sandy Koufax, starting pitcher, 1955-66
MLB records held: Most strikeouts, season, left-hander, 382 (1965); Shutouts, season, left-hander, 11 (1963); Most no-hitters, one team (tie), four; Most no-hitters, National League, four; Most strikeouts, perfect game, 14 (Sept. 9, 1965 vs. Cubs); Fewest hits per nine innings, left-hander, career, 6.79; Fewest baserunners per nine innings, left-hander, season, 7.83 (1965)
Mike Marshall, relief pitcher, 1974-76
MLB record held: Most games pitched, season, 106 (1974); Most consecutive games pitched, 13 (1974).
Steve Garvey, first baseman, 1969-82
MLB record held: Most consecutive games played, National League, 1,207 (1975-83).
Orel Hershiser, starting pitcher, 1983-94, 2000
MLB record held: Most consecutive scoreless innings, 59 (Aug. 30-Sept. 28, 1988)
Shawn Green, right fielder, 2000-04
MLB records held: Most total bases, game, 19 (May 23, 2002 vs. Brewers); Most home runs, game (tie), four (May 23, 2002).
Eric Gagne, relief pitcher, 1999-2006
MLB records held: Most consecutive saves, 84 (2002-04); Most 50-save seasons, National League, two.
Andre Ethier, right fielder, 2006-present
MLB record: Longest hitting streak, April, 26 games (2011).
And that's what I got so far.
Some pretty impressive stuff after all. But I know there's more, and I've got to get some sleep. So, later.
