The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of Major League Baseball's most storied franchises, having won nine World Series titles and a record 26 National League pennants, with a valuation of $7.8 billion (second in MLB). Founded in Brooklyn in 1883, the team broke baseball's color line in 1947 by debuting Jackie Robinson, and after losing their first five World Series matchups to the rival New York Yankees, they captured their first title in 1955. Owner Walter O'Malley moved the team to Los Angeles in 1958, where they played briefly at the Coliseum before settling into Dodger Stadium in 1962, winning championships in 1959, 1963, and 1965 behind aces Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale. Later titles followed in 1981 (thanks to rookie sensation Fernando Valenzuela) and 1988, before the team ended a 32-year drought in 2020 and then won consecutive World Series in 2024 and 2025 after the arrival of two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. The franchise holds MLB records for most Cy Young Awards (12) and Rookie of the Year honors (18), along with 13 NL MVP winners, while maintaining a .532 all-time winning percentage. Known for their passionate fanbase, they share a century-old, cross-state rivalry with the San Francisco Giants that dates back to their New York origins.
