Interesting FactsBefore taking your Los Angeles car rental to see the Los Angeles Dodgers, read up on some interesting facts about the Dodgers. Founded in 1855 in Brooklyn, New York, the team was first known as the Brooklyn Dodgers before moving to Los Angeles, California before its 1958 season. This major league baseball team is still based there to this day. The team's motto is "Think Blue" and is associated with its original logo design with a cursive blue "Dodgers" superimposed over a red streaming baseball. Retired NumbersThere are a number of great individuals that made their mark in the history of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jackie Robinson (#42) debuted his career on April 15, 1947. His number was retired form all major league baseball in honour of him breaking the MLB color barrier in 1947. He spent his entire career with the Dodgers. Jim Gillian (#19) died suddenly in 1978 at the age of 49. The Dodgers retired his number right away and he is the only non-hall-of-famer to receive this honour. Another great player was Don Drysdale (#19). He teamed up with Sandy Koufas (#32 and also a retired number) during the late 1950 Most Memorable PersonalityVin Scully was the Dodger's play by play announcer for 57 years. Did you know that Scully holds the record as the longest tenure of any broadcaster with a single club in professional sports history? In 1976, he was selected by Dodgers fans as the most memorable personality of the team's history in Los Angeles.
