Hi @ajweberman - No, Pee Wee Herman didn't play for the Brooklyn Dodgers! Sorry about that! But thanks for tuning in anyway!

Hi @ajweberman - It's so unfortunate that we live in a world of "Out with the Old and in with the New" because I wholeheartedly agree with you that Ebbetts field should have been designated a "landmark!" Thanks for tuning in and for your comment!

@jkrspecnet that was pee wee herman

It became a recruiting ground for terrorists - Hampton El had a safe house opposite the Ebbitts Field Housing Project which tipped the neighborhood and cause many Jews to leave including my mother. Ebbitts Field should have been designated a landmark and never torn down even tho its lights shined in my window and kept me awake during night games.

Hi @jkrspecnet - Thanks for tuning in and for your comments! Wow - you really know your Brooklyn Dodgers! I'm really glad to see that my video brought back some good memories for you! Thanks again!

And the pitching! Who can ever forget that great staff of Don Newcombe, Carl Erskine, Ralph Branca, Preacher Roe, Johnny Podres, and yes, even the once hated Sal Maglie, with Joe Black coming out of the bullpen. And of course, one super special rookie and Brooklyn's own native son, Sandy Koufax.

It was Pee Wee Reese and Babe Herman. Oh, the players I wish I had been able to see! This is such a melancholy song. I've been browsing through Duke Snider's autobioraphy, and it is chock-full of wonderful memories. Just re-read one on Gil Hodges--Who needs to be in the Hall. (A bio of him is coming out in August!) The Yankees were admired, but the Dodgers were LOVED.

Hi @BannerBombers - Thanks for tuning in and for your comment! In regard to the last sentance you wrote -- "The Yankees were admired, but the Dodgers were LOVED" -- Truer words were never spoken! Thanks again!

As a young boy, somewhere around the age of 11 to 14 growing up in Bklyn when kids played ball all day in the streets and school l yards, going to Ebbets Field was amazing ... at least for me and my friends. We'd hop on the train ( 15 cents then ) at Livonia Ave and get off at Franklin Ave and walk to the ball park from there. But what a feeling it was being inside Ebbets Field and seeing "The Duke" and company play ball and we all hoped that one day we to could play major league baseball ...

Hi @irwn8945 - Even though Ebbets field has been gone for years now, wonderful memories like the one you just shared with me will keep it alive as long as there are people like you who still remember! Thanks for tuning in and for your comment!
