A single ledger that runs from New York to San Francisco. Under John McGraw the club dominated the early-twentieth-century National League; Christy Mathewson threw three shutouts in the 1905 World Series; Willie Mays's "The Catch" framed New York's last title in 1954. After moving west with the Dodgers in 1958, fifty-two years passed without a championship until even-year titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014 — built around Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner, who threw twenty-one World Series innings in 2014 and allowed one earned run. Career totals: eight World Series, twenty-three NL pennants, twenty World Series appearances. Oracle Park, opened in 2000, is famous for McCovey Cove beyond the right-field wall and for Barry Bonds's 73-homer season in 2001 and 756th career home run in 2007.

Rivalry

The Dodgers rivalry is the sport's longest, tracing to New York and Brooklyn in 1889. Bobby Thomson's 1951 walk-off and the 1962 playoff both came from short-series pennant fights between the two.
