We asked you to list your choices for the 10 greatest Dodgers of all time. You could vote via comment, Facebook, Twitter or email. And vote you did. We received an amazing 14,383 ballots. So many, that we have decided to expand the list from the top 10 to the top 20.
 
You were asked to rank your top 10 in order. We assigned points, with your choice for first getting 12 points, second getting nine points, third getting eight points, all the way down to one point for 10th place. Each weekday here, we will unveil the top 20, one at a time, until we reach No. 1.
 
So without further ado:
No. 17: Don Newcombe; No. 18: Gil Hodges; No. 19: Don Sutton; No. 20: Kirk Gibson
 
No. 16: Walter Alston
 
No. 15: Walter O'Malley
 
No. 14: Branch Rickey
 
No. 13: Orel Hershiser
 
No. 12: Steve Garvey
 
No. 11: Pee Wee Reese

No. 10: Maury Wills
 
No. 9: Fernando Valenzuela
 
No. 8: Tommy Lasorda
 
No. 7: Clayton Kershaw
 
No. 6: Roy Campanella
 
No. 5: Duke Snider
 
No. 4: Don Drysdale
 
No. 3: Vin Scully
 
No. 2: Jackie Robinson
