Enjoyed your reminescing (sp?) about Gibson and the pitchers of long ago (I was just a very young child at the time of course, lol). I used to listen to Vince Scully on the radio - all the Dodger games- so got to know the National Leaque pitchers so very well. Gibson and Marichial I remember.....Loved the Dodgers when they had Sandy Koufax and Drysdale and the arguments and discussions about who was best. I liked Koufax at first but fell in love with Drysdale later on in his career.....And was a huge Tommy Seaver fan...Ah the good ole days of baseball...

Now I am a Padres fan and as such am required to "hate" the Dodgers but it is tough....

Not to intrude on your baseball chat but I was a Dodger fan (as a child) when they were still in Brooklyn (If you are too young & missed those wonderful days read 'The Boys of Summer").

My Dad & I went to many games with and it broke our hearts when they moved to LA. We rooted for the Mets for awhile. Anyone remember Marvelous Marvin Thorneberry?

Eventually I forgave them and became a Dodger fan all over again when I lived in LA!

daisy, you have to love the old Dodger-Giants battles. The great event was when one of the Dodger pitchers hit Juan Marischal in the noggin in retribution for some earlier malfeasance of sportsmanship by Senor Marischal. Juan didn't charge the mound like all the ham and eggers did. He was Juan Marischal; with Latino style and flair and passion. He took his bat and hit Dodger catcher John Roseboro over the head with it.

Bad boys, bad boys watcha gonna do ...
