They were the glory days of baseball, unequaled in the annals of sports history. It was a time when giants rounded the base paths - legendary names like Mantle, Mays, DiMaggio, and Musial. While at New York's Ebbets Field, the Dodgers - baseball's beloved "Bums" - were capturing the hearts of an adoring nation. And royalty reigned in the Brooklyn centerfield - a home run king who made opposing pitchers tremble with fear each time he approached the plate with a bat in his hand . . .Edwin Donald Snider,
