Clem Labine – One of a Kind

I first tuned in to a Dodger game on the radio – solely by accident – on April 19, 1952. I know the date as all three outfielders – Andy Pafko, Duke Snider, Carl Furillo – hit home runs which was the only time they did so in 1952. Also, as a youngster, I did know of the Bobby Thompson home run in 1951. I turned the radio dial looking for the Amos and Andy Show on a Saturday evening and caught the voice of Vin Scully with a Dodger broadcast. It was in mid-game and Duke’s was the first home run I had ever heard called.
