In 1974 the Los Angeles Dodgers ran away with the National League West Division title after posting a regular-season record of 102-60 which included a 52-29 mark at home. The Dodgers led by veteran skipper Walter Alston and a star-studded infield that included NL MVP Steve Garvey Davey Lopes Ron Cey and Bill Russell then proceeded to blow the doors off of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NLCS by sweeping the Bucs in four straight games. In the World Series however the Dodgers met another West Coast juggernaut the Oakland A's and despite some tight battles lost the Fall Classic in five games. In fact four of the games were decided by a single run but it was the A's who walked away with their third straight championship.
Offered here is the 1974 Los Angeles Dodgers 10K White Gold National League Championship ring presented to Manager Alston. "LA" in the center of the ring is made up of 25 points of real diamonds set atop a beautiful Dodger blue stone surrounded by "DODGERS NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS." One shank shows "ALSTON" above the Dodgers logo and his uniform number "24" while the other shank reads "1974" set above a raised image of Dodger Stadium. Inside of the ring is stamped "Balfour 10K." Ring size is 11.5. This ring represents a monumental piece of Dodgers' history.
Includes LOA from the Alston Family.
