An Entity of Type: Book106410904, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1993 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 104th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 36th season in Los Angeles, California. The team improved on the dismal 1992 season, finishing fourth in the Western Division of the National League. This was in part thanks to Rookie of the Year winner catcher Mike Piazza. Piazza set rookie records with 35 home runs and 112 RBI. He also hit two home runs on the last day of the season as the Dodgers knocked their longtime rival the Giants out of playoff contention with a 12–1 victory at Dodger Stadium.

  • The 1993 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 104th for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 36th season in Los Angeles, California. The team improved on the dismal 1992 season, finishing fourth in the Western Division of the National League. This was in part thanks to Rookie of the Year winner catcher Mike Piazza. Piazza set rookie records with 35 home runs and 112 RBI. He also hit two home runs on the last day of the season as the Dodgers knocked their longtime rival the Giants out of playoff contention with a 12–1 victory at Dodger Stadium. The season was marred by the sudden death of Hall of Fame pitcher Don Drysdale, who had been a broadcaster since his retirement in 1969. Drysdale, who pitched on three World Series championship teams in Los Angeles (1959, 1963, 1965), was found dead in his Montreal hotel room July 3 prior to the Dodgers' game vs. the Expos. To date, this is the only season in Dodger history where the team has finished at .500 and not above or below it. (en)
