Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4421273, member: 5798"] [B]My personal all-time favorite player[/B].....even though he was a member of our hated rivals the Giants. I was able to look past that, and see him for the great player and man he was. I would have loved to have met him, and taken a picture with him. He's still alive at 91, but seldom makes personal appearances. I was lucky enough to see him in his "heyday" after the Giants and Dodgers came west after the 1957 season. I saw him in the LA coliseum for 4 years (1958-1961) while Dodger Stadium was being built. We lived in the area. I used to ride my bike all around the Coliseum (through the tunnel and out on to the field when the gate was open) and Exposition Park (and the USC campus which is right across the street) during this time. :cool: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1667956840729.png"]80478[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
