Terrific Photo Gallery

What is most striking about this book is the number of different players whose photos appear. Don Bessent? He's here. Billy Cox fielding a grounder back-handed down the third base line? It's here. Carl Furillo on the steps of the New York Giants' dugout? It's here. Dan Bankhead (the first black pitcher in the Major Leagues)? He's here. Luis Olmo? He's here. Shotgun Shuba? He's here. And of course all the big stars are here in numerous photos: Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Oisk, Newk, Labine, Preacher, Black, etc. Not high quality paper, but it's plenty clear to see these great players in this book jam packed with great Brooklyn Dodgers' photos. On the cover is the best center-fielder of all-time, Duke Snider, shown as he's approaching the dugout after his three-run homer virtually clinched the 1956 pennant for the Dodgers.
