ABOUT THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS
The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of Major League Baseball's most successful franchises and one of the best-known baseball brands worldwide. Established in 1883 in Brooklyn, the Dodgers have won six World Series championships and 23 National League titles, produced 12 Cy Young Award winners, 14 National League MVPs and 18 National League Rookies of the Year, more than twice as many as the next closest team. Their legacy includes being the first Major League team to break the color barrier with the signing of Jackie Robinson.
Dodger Stadium is the third oldest continually used baseball park in Major League Baseball and stands as one of the most unique and picturesque settings in sports, overlooking downtown LA to the south and the San Gabriel Mountains to the north.
The Dodgers have a loyal fanbase, evidenced by the fact that the Dodgers were the first MLB team to attract more than 3 million fans in a season (in 1978), and accomplished that feat six more times before any other franchise did it once. The Dodgers have led the major leagues in attendance every season since 2013. In 2019, the team drew 3,857,500 fans during the regular season.
In addition to being a successful MLB franchise, the Dodgers are partners in their award-winning official charity, the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF). LADF is ''Bigger than Baseball'' with ambitions to be the city's premier charity, envisioning a city where everyone regardless of zip code has the opportunity to thrive. LADF is tackling the most pressing problems facing Los Angeles with a mission to improve education, health care, homelessness and social justice for all Angelenos. Since 1995, $33 million has been invested in proven programs that LADF both runs and funds.
Since the current Dodgers ownership's acquisition of the club in 2012, the team has won an NL West record seven consecutive division titles, and back-to-back National League Championships in 2017 and 2018. The Dodgers front office comprises approximately 300 full-time employees, most of whom work in Los Angeles, and others who work throughout the country and in many parts of the world. The company also employs approximately 200 major and minor league players, and 1,400 seasonal and part-time employees.
In addition to the historic signing of Jackie Robinson in 1947, the Dodgers have a long history of signing players from diverse backgrounds and cultures, including players from South Korea, Japan, and Mexico and other Latin-American countries. The Dodgers became the first Major League team with a training academy in the Dominican Republic when Campos Las Palmas opened in 1987. The Dodgers have broadcasted games in Spanish since moving to Los Angeles from Brooklyn in 1958, and a significant portion of the fanbase is Latinx.
