Duke Snider was a household word in Southern California in 1959, when the Blue Crew beat the White Sox to win the World Championship.

When I first starting playing Little League Baseball I inherited my older brother's Duke Snider signature baseball glove. My brother had really broken that glove in. When my brother went to sleep he would put a ball into the pocket, tie it with string, and place it under his mattress. It was a beautiful glove.

This saddens me greatly. An American legend has passed. In my game room I have a Duke Snider autographed flannel Dodgers jersey with a red number four on front and back hanging on the wall. I have an original royal blue flecked fiber glass Brooklyn Dodgers batting helmet autographed by Duke Snider. One of the few available seats from Ebbets Field and one of the final game tickets from where Danny McDevitt pitched a shut-out 5 to zip against the Pirates.
Perhaps Duke’s Field of Dreams looks a lot light old Ebbets tonight.
Rest in Peace Edwin Snider and thank you for everything you did for the baseball fans of this great nation.

Ah, the Duke, one of my favorites from my youthful days when I sat in the gnarled crook of a real cherry tree in our back yard listening to da Cubs and da Bums on my little portable radio.
I was so into baseball on those lazy hot summer afternoons that as I perched and listened I actually diagramed the games!
If I had to do that today I wouldn't remember how to do it, LOL.

I was 7 in CT that summer and a Dodger fan , although I can’t remember how or why I was . My friend and I listened to the final game on the radio and when the Dodgers won we biked up and down the street in front of my house and screamed “ The Dodgers won the series ! “ Childhood memories ...

Can you imagine how the opposing team's hitters felt having to face those two? Kind of like coming into Bank One Ballpark in 2001 to face Johnson and Schilling.

My mother was a senior when Duke Snider was a sophomore at Compton High School. She still has her yearbooks with Snider and NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle’s photos in there.
