Dodger Stadium
Trying to Photograph Everything There
Placards 4 Feet High
Displayed in the Dugout hallway in between the Dodger Locker Room and the Dodger Bullpen (along the side of the Batting Cages and the Workout Room).
There are only 15 here and 24 total patches were made in 1999. The rest are perhaps displayed on the visitor's side.

Flickr In 1999, after fan voting to name the greatest Dodgers of the past, artist Paul Rogers was commissioned to create a series of paintings for the outfield walls in Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers created a group of patches called "Dodger Heroes". Each player and coach could choose the one he wanted on his uniform sleeve. There were 24 patches in the set.
(Note: The Dodgers sold very limited quantities of these patches to the public in 1999. Sandy Koufax refused to license his image, so probably less than a dozen Koufax patches exist.)From "MLB Game Worn Jerseys Of the Double Knit Era" by W.F. Henderson.
My sincere thanks to Jerry Braden, Russ Figueroa, Don Hinkle, Mark Langill, Sal LaRocca and Ron Samiano for sharing their patches.
