The boys of summer of our youth are vanishing. One of the Bums of Brooklyn. Solid player and better man. Time marches on.

Many felt that if Dressen had called in Erskine, who was warming in the bull pen, instead of Branca, Bobby Thompson’ s shot heard round the world in ‘51 would have ended differently. Baseball in the ‘50’s was great , when baseball truly was the national pastime.

The Brooklyn ace of 1953. Went 20-6 that year. Just a truly great man. An absolute prince.
