The 1991 Los Angeles Dodgers season was the 102nd for the franchise in Major League Baseball, and their 34th season in Los Angeles, California.
The season featured an exciting National League West race between the Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves. The Braves edged out the Dodgers to win the division by one game. Center fielder Brett Butler set a National League record with 161 errorless games while Darryl Strawberry hit 28 home runs, the most by a left-handed hitter in Los Angeles history at that point. On the debit side, the Dodgers became the first franchise to be on the receiving end of three perfect games[a] when Dennis Martínez prevented any of their batters from reaching base on July 28.[1]
