Durocher, my father’s favorite manager. I see nothing wrong with that statement.

I guess it is not slipshod reporting after all. I remember Leo Durocher was still coaching for the Dodgers when I first became a fan as a kid. Back in the days of Koufax and Drysdale, Maury Wills and Jim Gilliam. Oh, and Tommy and Willie Davis in the outfield. There was also a slugger in the OF but his name escapes me. I played first base in Little League so Ron Fairly was my obligatory role model. I thought of Vin Scully as a sort of uncle until I was in Junior High School. And I mustn't leave out John Roseboro behind the plate.

Might that slugger's name be Frank Howard?
