The 1957 Dodgers were the last edition of the storied Brooklyn Dodgers franchise to play in Flatbush before leaving for greener pastures in California, and this full-color 40-card set commemorates that ballclub. While the 1957 Dodgers will never be remembered for their on-field achievements (they won 84 while losing 70), they will forever occupy a special place in Brooklyn Dodger history. They weren't infamous like the 1951 squad, or heroic like the 1955 unit -- they're legendary simply because they were the last chapter in a colorful history of Brooklyn big league baseball. All 35 players who played that season are featured in the set, which also includes a team card, a manager card, two coaches cards, and a card of Jackie Robinson who announced his retirement in early 1957. Card fronts feature a full-color player portrait within a classic 1950s style design. Card backs are also designed in the style of the era, and feature player stats, biographies, and cartoons. Player bios also serve as a timeline of the 1957 season. Baseball artist Ronnie Joyner produced all aspects of this set, from the portraits, to the cartoons, to the text, as well as the card design. Card sets are packaged in team poly bags sealed with an embossed foil Brooklyn Dodgers sticker. Here's a listing of the cards in the set:
