Brooklyn Dodgers 1949 team photo |
1949 Dodger YearbookHow about names like Preacher Roe, started pitching in 1938. Or, General Mgr & Pres. , Branch Rickey! I Love it! |
Dodger yearbook 1951The Brooklyn Bum was the original Dodger Logo. It's been a long time since I have seen this. |
Dodgers vs. Yankees 1952 World SeriesInside are the ads you see on this page, and, Bob filled in the scorecard for this game. You can follow the game inning by inning. |
Dodger Yearbook 1953Another caricature of the Brooklyn Bum. I guess now he is an LA Homeless person. Walter O'Malley lives in infamy for taking the Bums out of Brooklyn. |
1955 Dodgers team photoThis is not Bob's collection, came from another web site |
1956 Dodgers Team PhotoSee originals of this picture to the right. |
Knickerbocker Beer AdWho remembers this beer? |
Lucky Strike AdDo you remember Dorothy Collins from "Your Hit Parade"?How about 1,000 packs of Luckies go to the Veteran's hospital for each Dodger home run. |
Ballantine BeerNow where is Mel Allen? Oops wrong team. Red Barber was the voice of the Dodgers at this time. |
Camel AdThe ads were directed at women in those days. Guess the men were dying. :) |
Piels BeerYeah no N.F.S. Betcha Budweiser has N.F.S. Right Issy?
This is Pre-Bert and Harry. |
Oldsmobile AdThis IS your father's Oldsmobile! "And Power steering? It will never catch on, you can't feel the road!" |
Bob's GrandpaTaken in the 1800's, a remarkable picture. |
