No. 3 Duke Snider, CF

No. 3: Duke Snider, CF

Tenure: 1947-62

Stats: 1,923 games, 389 HR, 1,271 RBI

Achievements: Seven-time All Star

“The Duke of Flatbush” routinely lost out on the MVP to teammate Roy Campanella, but Snider was the greatest power hitter the Dodgers ever had.

His career totals for homers and RBI still stands as the club record, as does his mark of five straight seasons with 40-or-more home runs.

And even though his teammates, Gil Hodges, Carl Furillo and Pee Wee Reese, were great clutch hitters, there was no one Dodger fans would rather see at the plate with the game on the line than Snider.

Twice he hit four home runs in a single World Series—11 in all, the most in the history of the National League—and has more World Series RBIs than any player who didn’t wear the pinstripes.
