Los Angeles Dodgers Information
The Essence of Shortstop
Each player of a team has his own task that is essential to the group. With their positions, one can tell their function on a team. And one of the players that is mostly the subject of observations is the shortstop because a strong shortstop is the glue that holds an infield together.
It has been fifty successful years since the LA Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, and Chavez Ravine has seen some electrifying shortstops in that time. In conjunction with the Dodgers 50th anniversary in L.A., fans can vote for their favorite shortstop this month to join the All-Time Roster. There will be a chance to vote for other positions in the upcoming months, and the final roster will be announced in 2008. The choices is up to fans, and the elite list of shortstops they can choose from includes a steady pro named Alfredo Griffin, a defensive wall named Cesar Izturis, an unyielding iron man named Bill Russell, and a base-blazing speedster named Maury Wills.
Cesar Izturis is a consistent contact hitter and impenetrable infielder, Izturis blossomed into an All-Star and Gold Glove shortstop during his five years as a Dodger. He had his best season with the team of Los Angeles Dodgers in 2004, when he boasted a batting average of .288 with 32 doubles, nine triples, 62 RBIs and 25 stolen bases. It was the same year that he picked up a Gold Glove after posting a .985 fielding percentage as the team won the National League West title. Izturis earned his first All-Star berth, the following year, and was on track for an equally impressive season, hitting .348 through the 1st of June, however, an elbow injury resulted in Tommy John surgery and cut his season short. It was his final full season in Los Angeles, where he accumulated a .260 average and averaged just 12 errors per season before his injury.
On the other hand, Alfredo Griffin was a steady, everyday shortstop, and during his four years with the team, he played in 472 games, which ranks fifth all-time in games played by a Los Angeles shortstop. Griffin, who is a former co-AL Rookie of the Year, joined the Dodgers in 1988 after he was already established as a solid shortstop. Despite fracturing his cheekbone in his first season with Los Angeles, Griffin's reliable glove work helped the LA Dodgers win the World Series over the Oakland Athletics in five games. Known more for his glove than his bat, Griffin collected 760 putouts as a Dodgers and accumulated a .964 fielding percentage.
Bill Russell was one of the team’s most promising young outfielders in 1969, compared with the likes of Willie Davis. As the team needed a shortstop, however, they looked to Russell, who was athletic enough to make the transition to the infield. For twelve years Russell was a rock at shortstop, where he turned 909 double plays and played 1,747 games, and he became the all-time Los Angeles leader in games played with 2,181 overall. He was part of the Dodgers' longest-lasting infield combination by that time, a unit that became the heart of the team's annual pennant drive. A three-time All-Star, Russell led the team to three World Series, and won once. As a finger injury forced Russell to retire, he spent another decade coaching the Dodgers, eventually taking over as manager for Tommy Lasorda in 1996.
Furthermore, Maury Wills is a speedy infielder with a quick bat and even quicker hands, he was an obvious fit for shortstop, but it took him awhile to get there. The thin ballplayer struggled through eight years in the Minors, where he bounced between positions. He tried his hand at pitching and catching a few times, but it was Don Zimmer's broken toe, not Wills' fastball, that got him a break halfway through the 1959 season. Maury Wills did not make an overpowering first impression. He led NL shortstops with forty errors in his first full season, but had undeniable speed. By 1962, only his second full season, Wills set a new Major League record with 104 stolen bases and was caught stealing just 13 times. That same year, he posted a career-high 130 runs with 48 RBIs, won his second Gold Glove and was named National League MVP over Giants superstar Willie Mays. Though ‘62 was Wills’ best season, he continued to lead the league in stolen bags for the next three seasons. Wills averaged 63 stolen bases from 1960-65, and retired with a total of 586 stolen bases. In addition, he also helped the Dodger win two World Series during his 14-year career.
Over the past years, the LA Dodgers proved that they are composed of outstanding players and that’s what they also continue at present time.
