I played with the Dodgers my entire career. 12 years straight at that. I won a WS as a player and a manager. I'm not known for my hitting, topping .300 only once. Who am I?

Who did the Dodgers play and what was the score of the first game at Dodger Stadium?

Here's another one;

I managed and played for the Brooklyn Dodgers. I was a good player, but my fame was from my managerial skills. I first managed the Dodgers, but my fame came from managing the Yankees and the Mets.

Who am I?

Here's anotehr one:

I played in the majors for 19 seasons. I compiled a .264 average during that span. I played for 4 teams and ended my career with the Dodgers. Even though I didn't have any spectatucular stats, I am famous for numorous things. First, regarding to the draft. Second, I made a "great play" during a ballgame but it had nothing to do with the game. Lastly, lets say that Expos fans do not share any love for me.

I played my entire career 14 years with the Dodgers. My speciality was "defense." It is safe to say that my batting is... below average. I coached many Dodgers minor league teams. I posed nude for a Playgirl magazine. I only played one positon my entire life, and I'm damn good at it too.

I played 2B for the Dodgers from 1994-1996. I am a career .268 hitter and played for 6 different teams. My "claim to fame" with the Dodgers came from a lopsided trade that Dodger fans have been kicking themselves for years over. Who am i?

I was drafted by the Dodgers in 1977. I had two stints with the Blue Crew. The only other team I played for was Minnesota. While I am not known for amazing stats, I will always be remembered for hitting a two-run shot off Dave Stewart and my homerun trot was my craziest ever.

I played for 5 teams in my 21 year career. My first 8 years were with the Dodgers. I played 3/4 of my career at first base. Sadly, I will also be remembered for one infamous error on another team. Who am I?

Question:

I was a ML player for 20 years. It was amazing how I stayed in the majors that long even though i was an average, if not unspactacular player. I was a primarily a shortstop. Spent my last six years with the Dodgers. I am more famous as a manager. I have a dislike for Babe Ruth.

Who am I?
