Walter Alston's tenure transformed the Dodgers from a struggling franchise into a champion, winning their first World Series in 1955 and continuing success in the ensuing years.
Alston's record over 22 seasons, marked by a .558 winning percentage and multiple pennants, illustrates his remarkable managerial skill and adaptability with a variety of players.
After retiring, Alston was honored posthumously in 1983 by his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, celebrating his historical impact on the Dodgers.
Tommy Lasorda, who played under Alston, recognized his legacy as a manager, continuing the success of the Dodgers and adding two more championships to the franchise.
