Does It Hurt Not Having The Dodgers In Brooklyn??
-
Ah, my mistake.
-
The original title of this video was "Duke Snyder" that is what i was referring to.
-
That's what octogenarian said. He does say "Duke Snider". Perhaps it's the New York accent that threw you.
-
Nice reminiscences. But he mis-heard Red Barber describing Dixie Walker's "OPENLY closed stance." Red said "OVERLY closed..." Hard to distinguish over the radio.

Thanks for this.

Octagenerian, I hope you continue to make color commentary for all areas of interest in your young life. I will need 30 years to get to be an octagenerian but I live in the past. Life just seemed to be a lot fuller and meant a lot more. I'd rather be 80 than 50. So, I live my life vicariously through the older generation and I frequent senior centers.

Thank you for those wonderful stories. I am just wondering what neighborhood in Brooklyn you grew up in? My father was from Crown Heights and my mother was from Flatbush..

Born and raised in Williamsburg. The old neighberhood is having a rebirth with a thriving art community and expensive condos.

Thanks for sharing. My uncle told me something today about Ebbets Field that I never heard before, but the vendors used to wear stovepipe hats that they'd use to catch flyballs with during batting practice. Do you remember anything like that?

Al Schact, the baseball comedian used to perform at home plate before the game. He would stagger around and catch pop-ups in his stovepipe. It is certainly possible that when he was not doing his act he would jokingly catch fly balls in the outfield.
