The Los Angeles Dodgers were an excellent team in the 1970s and early 80s, and Ron Cey was a part of it.
Nicknamed the "Penguin" for how he moved, this was one non-flying bird that could play baseball. Cey played at Third, winning that job in 1973 for L.A. In the following season, he began a six-year streak of All-Star Game appearances. From 1974 to 1980, he was a 20-plus Home Run hitter, and he probably would have extended that in 1981 had there not been a strike that year. Nevertheless, that was the season he was a large part of the Dodgers' World Series Championship and co-winner of the World Series MVP.
Cey was traded to the Cubs after the 1982 Season, leaving the team after 228 Home Runs and 1,378 Hits.
