Dodgers News: Don Newcombe Resting Comfortably After Passing Out At Dave Roberts Press Conference

Dodgers News: Don Newcombe Resting Comfortably After Passing Out At Dave Roberts Press Conference

Los Angeles Dodgers legend and special advisor to the chairman Don Newcombe was released from the hospital and is resting comfortably at home, the club announced Tuesday evening.

Newcombe, who was on hand for the Dave Roberts introductory press conference, was rushed to a local hospital after passing out following the welcoming.

He’s been a fixture at Dodger Stadium and served as a special advisor since 2009. In July, Newcombe was hospitalized for two days after becoming ill while at the stadium.

Newcombe recently attended the batting practice hosted by the team in honor of Veterans Day.

A Korean War veteran, Newcombe signed autographs and thanked those in attendance for their military service.

Newcombe was the first player to win Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player and the Cy Young Award. He spent eight seasons with the Dodgers — all but one coming during the franchise’s time in Brooklyn.

Over the eight years, Newcombe was 123-66 with a 3.51 ERA. His time with the organization spanned from 1949-51 and 1954-58. The two seasons missed was due to serving in the military during the Korean War.

Newcombe, a four-time National League All-Star, finished his 149-90 with 1,129 strikeouts and a 3.56 ERA in his 10-year career.

As one of the organization’s first black players, Newcombe witnessed the Dodgers hire the first minority manager in franchise history.
