Posted by #4 Sea Beach Fred on Wed Sep 2 20:22:25 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 17:14:47 2015. Most who played for Brooklyn in the post war years until they deserted that borough loved playing for the Dodgers. One who did not was Dick Williams who almost beat Pafko out when Andy got injured early in the season. Then Dick ran into a wall in St. Louis and was out for the rest of the season. As I remember he wound up hitting 309 or thereabouts. Dick always thought the Dodgers were clickish and that he would never be excepted by the "so called in crowd", which later I learned was Reese, Snider, R. Walker, Roe and Erskine. To me that was sour grapes because I met The Duke at card shows and reunions, and met Erskine at the Sr. Babe Ruth World Series and later in a reunion at the miserable LA Coliseum which passed for a baseball field for four years only because that greedy bastard O'Malley was less interested in playing in a baseball and instead wanted to load his pockets with money. It was right away in 1958 that I turned on the Dodgers and have despised them to this very day. |
