Blog Kiosk: 7/16/2015 - Dodger Links - Some Odds and Ends

I just love the symmetry of the vintage ACME news press photograph above that's available for sale through RMY Auctions (auction link here). Featured are Duke Snider at center, Jackie Robinson jogging in from 2nd base, right fielder Carl Furillo with the ball and Hall of Fame umpire Jocko Conlon calling the out.

It was taken during the first game of a doubleheader played at Ebbets Field on August 23, 1949 against the St. Louis Cardinals. Chuck Dierling had hit a blooper in the fifth inning against Joe Hatten, so the Dodger defense converged to make a play.
