 | | Dodger Stadium has hosted eight World Series and the Dodgers have won four World Championships (1963, 1965, 1981 and 1988), eight NL pennants (1963, 1965, 1966, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1988), nine NL Western Division crowns (1974, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1988, 1995, 2004) and one NL Wild Card berth (1996). |
