Can you imagine how the opposing team's hitters felt having to face those two? Kind of like coming into Bank One Ballpark in 2001 to face Johnson and Schilling.

My Dad and his 2 brothers were best of friends with Duke growing up in Brooklyn. It was like a death to all of them when the Dodgers left Brooklyn.
They should never have left.

You forgot a very important somebody. The guy in the cat bird seat...Red Barbour. It was he who knitted everything together. What a voice. What a talent. sd
