The 1970 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 81st for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 13th season in Los Angeles, California. Walter O'Malley stepped down as team president, turning the reins over to his son Peter, while remaining as the team's chairman. The Dodgers remained competitive, finishing the season in second place, 14+1⁄2 games behind the NL Champion Cincinnati Reds in the National League West. The away jerseys removed the city name and instead had the team nickname which would stay until 1999 when the city name returned to the road uniforms, where it has remained ever since.
