Last week, I began to wonder how Dodger Thoughts might commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Dodgers' first World Series title. While mulling continues (including whether the energy can be mustered to run a day-by-day recap of the season), it's clear that others have been thinking about it as well.
In his weekly mailbag for MLB.com, Ken Gurnick writes that "the Dodgers will wear Brooklyn jerseys several times this season, including Aug. 28 at Dodger Stadium, when members of the 1955 team will be honored during a pregame ceremony." If I'm not mistaken, this will mark the first appearance of throwback jerseys at the stadium. Presumably, there will be no player names on the back of those, either.
In addition, there will be an October 4 celebration in Brooklyn marking the actual anniversary of the title.
