He also told Snider they took his bat from him.....he was shooting at a 440 fence. He hit only 15 homers that season. They moved the fences in a little the next year and he hit 23, but he was never the same after he left Brooklyn.One little known piece of info that has been lost for decades is the vote that the players informally took early in the 1957 season, their last in that borough. They voted either Brooklyn or Los Angeles and the vote was 24-1 Brooklyn. The lone dissenting vote? Duke Snider. Even Californian Don Drysdale voted for Brooklyn. |
