To baseball fans of today, the name "Dodgers" is synonymous with
Hollywood, the warm California sun, and names like Tommy Lasorda,
Kirk Gibson, Steve Garvey, and Orel Hershiser. The Dodgers mean
much more than that to fans of baseball history, however. Namely,
these fans remember the famed "Boys of Summer," otherwise known as
the Brooklyn Dodgers, a team that included some of the most storied
players in baseball history, such as Hall of Famers Duke Snider,
Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese, and Jackie Robinson.
Although they eventually moved out west, the Brooklyn Dodgers
provided some of the greatest moments the game has ever seen and
some of the greatest personalities to ever take the field. Carl
Erskine, another member of that legendary team, relates memories
about his days with the Dodgers in a book full of true stories and
revealing anecdotes. The result is Tales from the Dodgers Dugout,
first published in 2004 and newly updated to provide a delightfully
interesting trip through the world of baseball in the 1950s. Among
Erskine's many tales are his dealings with immortal team official
Branch Rickey, his view from the Dodgers bench during Don Larsen's
perfect game in the 1956 World Series, and his firsthand
experiences when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and became
the first black player in Major League Baseball history. During his
frequent speaking engagements, people often ask Erskine if all of
his stories are true. His standard response has been, "Yes, I
couldn't possibly make them up the way they actually happened." Now
fans can read all of those great stories in Tales from the Dodgers
Dugout.
