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.
I tried to explain playing in wool\cotton flannel in summer to my son. He thought I had 2 heads.
