Things were looking sunny and bright for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1962. The franchise moved into its new digs at Dodger Stadium, and the Dodgers had already matched the number of World Series wins while stationed in Brooklyn, with a Los Angeles championship in 1959. An impressive total of 101 wins just wasn't enough in '62 however, as the San Francisco Giants tallied the same regular-season number of wins as the Dodgers, and then bested them in a 3-game tie-breaker. Supremely rich in pitching, the Dodgers went all the way the following season, beating the mighty New York Yankees in the '63 World Series, while demonstrating the West Coast agreed with them in big way. Many of the same great players who won the championship in 1963, have taken part in the signing of the offered 1962 Dodgers team-signed ball.
