Posted by #4 Sea Beach Fred on Tue Sep 1 11:44:30 2015, in response to Re: Vin Scully says next year is probably his last as voice of the Dodgers, posted by Karl B on Tue Sep 1 01:24:32 2015. That '51 trade was supposed to be the clincher for the pennant for the Dodgers since we got Andy Pafko in that deal. "Handy" Andy had hit 36 homers the year before, hit over 300 and drove in 100 or so runs. However, we all know how that turned out in '51. Andy also didn't do all that well with Brooklyn and later admitted he missed Chicago. In '52 he gave up the #22 he was stuck with and was able to get back his beloved #48 and had a good year for the Dodgers and helped them win the NL Pennant. For his reward, they traded him to the Braves in the off season to save some money. |
