The Silver Fox Of Center Field, Duke Snider and the Dodgers at Phillies, April 16 1957.

from Classic Baseball Radio · host Ewan Spence

Duke Snider was, arguably, the first poster-boy for the Dodgers following their move to Los Angeles, but his legendary status (and seven consecutive All-Star appearances) was earned while the team was based in Brooklyn. During his career, this Center Fielder was named to the National League All-Star team eight times, appeared in six World Series, won the Fall Classic in both 1955 and 1959, and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1980. What put him there? How about a high-water mark of 1031 runs batted in during the 1950s? Hitting four home runs in two different World Series? Or the record for most home runs off a single pitcher? Those 19 dings put Robin Roberts in the record books as well, albeit for a stat a pitcher would not want. So let's celebrate Snider's time in the show. It's opening day of the 1957 season, the last year the Dodgers would be in Brooklyn, and Snider owns center field. Can the Dodgers start a landmark season with a win?  And how will the Phillies pitcher Robin Roberts' pitch count go? Roy Campanella and his team take you through the game.
