1966 Los Angeles Dodgers season

March 2026 November 2013 Los Angeles Dodgers 1966 National League champions National League Dodger Stadium Los Angeles 95–67 (95 67) 1st Walter O'Malley, James & Dearie Mulvey Walter O'Malley Buzzie Bavasi Walter Alston KTTV (11) KFIVin Scully, Jerry DoggettKWKWJosé García, Jaime Jarrín The 1966 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 77th season for the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise in Major League Baseball (MLB), their 9th season in Los Angeles, California, and their 5th season playing their home games at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles California. The Dodgers won the National League championship with a 95–67 record (1 1 2 games over the San Francisco Giants), but were swept by the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. Regular season Sandy Koufax became the first pitcher to win three Cy Young Awards in a career.Great Baseball Feats, Facts and Figures, 2008 Edition, p. 234, David Nemec and Scott Flatow, A Signet Book, Penguin Group, New York, 978-0-451-22363-0 Season recap The defending World Series champion Dodgers relied upon the same model that brought them the championship in 1965; great pitching, tight defense, and speed. However, pitchers Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale held out nearly all of spring training due to a contract dispute, finally signing just before the start of the regular season. Drysdale had a sub par season going 13–16 with a 3.42 E.R.A. Koufax went 27–9 with a 1.73 E.R.A. Claude Osteen had his best season to date, winning 17 games with a 2.85 E.R.A., and rookie Don Sutton replaced Johnny Podres in the rotation, chipping in with 12 wins and a 2.99 E.R.A. Phil Regan had a good season, going 14–1 with 21 saves. The National League race was a 4 team affair between the Dodgers, Giants, Pirates, and Phillies, with all but the Phillies taking their turn in 1st place during the summer. The Dodgers vaulted to the top with an 8-game win streak in mid-September. However, the pennant was still not decided until the final day of the season. The Giants, who had eliminated the Pirates by beating them on the next to last day, needed to beat the Pirates again in the season's final game, and then hope the Dodgers would lose both games of a double header in Philadelphia to the Phillies. If that happened, the Giants would have trailed the Dodgers by 1/2 game, and would still have had to fly to Cincinnati to play the Reds in a make-up game, needing a win to tie for 1st. The Giants defeated the Pirates in extra innings, and the Dodgers lost the first game of the double header, blowing a lead in the 8th inning. However, while the Giants were waiting at the Pittsburgh airport (not knowing if they were going to fly to Cincinnati or go home), Koufax beat the Phillies in the second game of the double header. While they were waiting, a reporter asked Giants pitcher Ron Herbel "you guys don't know where you're going yet, do you?" Herbel replied "we know where we're going. No way superman (Koufax) loses the second game."

The Dodgers drafted 67 players in the June draft and nine in the January draft. Nine of them eventually played in MLB. The top draft pick was pitcher Lawrence Hutton from Greenfield High School in Greenfield, Indiana. He played in the Dodgers farm system through 1971 and finished with a 22–28 record and 4.33 ERA in 117 games, never advancing past AA. The most successful picks from this draft class were Bill Russell and Charlie Hough. Russell, the ninth-round pick out of Pittsburg High School played with the Dodgers through 1986, mostly as a shortstop and later managed the team from 1996 to 1998. Hough was drafted in the eighth round out of Hialeah High School as an infielder but quickly converted to pitcher. He played with the Dodgers through 1980 and then with three other teams until he retired in 1994. He later became a coach for the Dodgers organization. 1966 draft picksJanuary draft 1966 Los Angeles Dodgers Picks in the MLB January Draft-Regular Phase This was the first year that a January draft was held for college and high school players who graduated in the winter.
