The 2003 Los Angeles Dodgers season was defined by a truly historic pitching performance, as the staff led all of Major League Baseball with a 3.16 ERA. The year was headlined by closer Eric Gagne, who put together arguably the greatest season for a reliever in baseball history by converting all 55 of his save opportunities en route to winning the National League Cy Young Award. While the team finished second in the NL West with a solid 85-77 record, fans were treated to additional individual highlights including Shawn Green setting a franchise record with 49 doubles and Paul Lo Duca putting together an impressive 25-game hitting streak.
