Quotes

Preston Gomez

Preston Gomez was a Dodger coach from 1965-68 and 1977-79. He also managed three major league teams.

He was an innovator. He’s an owner who will be in the Hall of Fame some day. His name will be remembered as long as they play baseball. I can remember when I first came to the Dodgers, he was always kidding with the players. It didn’t matter if you were a Koufax or a Drysdale or you were a kid from Venezuela or the Dominican (Republic). He made you feel wanted. I lost a friend; baseball lost a great man.
