On April 18, 1958 the Dodgers took the field before 78,672 fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to usher in the beginning of the team's new life in Los Angeles. It was a rough season, as the Dodgers finished 21 games back in the National League standings, but it was the beginning of the second phase for the team. On April 23, 1958, Gil Hodges hit his 300th home run and Pee Wee Reese played his 2,000th game on the same day that Duke Snider injured his arm before the game trying to throw a ball out of the Los Angeles Coliseum.
