What a great night that was, Doug. Lucky you to be there.
Duke Snider is my all time favorite Dodger.

I only remember some games vs. Cincy Reds, with my friends and I having a great time up in the high seats.

Larry Sherry won 2 and saved 2 in the 1959 Series against the ChiSox. ERA - 0.71.

When the Dodgers moved to LA, that created a need to for a Triple A farm team on the West Coast and my hometown got that honor. Spent many a summer’s evening watching the Spokane Indians play.

A highlight in the 58 and 59 season was having the Dodgers come to town to play “the kids” in an exhibition game. Saw my hero, Duke Snider up close.

Some of those “kids” would be called up over the next few years - Maury Wills, Tommy Davis, Willie Davis, Larry and Norm Sherry, Roger Craig... the list goes on.

Now I’ve never seen a game in LA, but did see my first Dodger/Giants game back in ‘87 after moving to California. And who do you suppose was coaching the Giants? Roger Craig with Norm Sherry assisting. How cool is that?!?

Thanks for the memories
