Stadium Club Roy Campanella
One of the game's most likeable, knowledgeable and talented players, Roy Campanella was a major contributor to the Dodgers from 1948-57... Much more than a force on the field with his pinpoint accurate throwing arm, "Campy" was a good-natured rock in the clubhouse who was appreciated by his teammates. He was well known for spinning yarns and giving friendly counsel to his fellow players at "Campy's Bullpen" outside the old clubhouse at Dodgertown in Vero Beach, FL. -Walter O'Malley

In 10 seasons with the Brooklyn Dodgers (1948-57), Campy was a force both at the plate and behind the plate. The catcher played on five pennant-winning clubs, including the World Champions of 1955. That season, the eight-time All-Star became a three-time National League Most Valuable Player award winner after collecting 32 home runs and 107 RBI. He also garnered MVP honors in 1951 and 1953, when he led the league with a Brooklyn record 142 RBI to go with a career-high 41 home runs. Campanella, whose career was cut short due to a tragic automobile accident that left him paralyzed, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.
