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").

Wow! Bet you have some great memories of Da Bums!

I've read the book, plus - saw a documentary not too long ago.

I'd love to have seen Campy, the Duke, Furillo etc, in person.

I have so many happy memories of attending games with my Dad. Those really were the golden days of baseball. Another book you might enjoy is 'Snow in August' by Pete Hamil. It is a novel (and fantasy) but really captures the flavor of those times.
