2003 Los Angeles Dodgers season

It was a turbulent season as News Corporation (Fox) was seeking to sell the team.

Nevertheless, the Dodgers fell just short of a Wild Card berth, winning 85 games while finishing second in the National League West.

Shawn Green set a new Dodger single season record with 49 doubles and Paul Lo Duca had a 25-game hitting streak.

He was a 2009 All-Star and pitched eight seasons with the Dodgers with an 81–61 record and 3.65 ERA in 219 games (190 starts) before missing most of 2013 and all of 2014 with serious arm injuries.

The sixth round pick, outfielder Matt Kemp from Midwest City High School would lead the National League in Home Runs and RBIs in 2011 as well as finishing second in the MVP vote that year.
