The canard of a certain sports team having “the greatest fans in the world” is a heinously tired one. Not only is it uttered by players from every team, but there’s no real way of qualifying it.

Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers pitching legend Don Newcombe has plenty to be proud of both on and off the field.

Given the number of historically great talents that have played for the Dodgers during the franchise’s time in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, the debate as to who the greatest or most influential Dodger is largely goes unsettled.
