Albuquerque Dodgers
Though traditionally known as the “Dukes” throughout Albuquerque’s four-decade partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers between 1963 and 2000, Albuquerque’s minor league baseball club went through a fruitful 7-year stretch between 1965 and 1971 when it played directly under the Dodgers name. The Albuquerque Dodgers won three Texas League crowns in these years and produced a pipeline of future L.A. Dodgers standouts, including Ron Cey, Steve Garvey and Don Sutton.
