I thought I would take a moment to highlight a vintage Brooklyn Dodgers game-used jersey that I recently came across in Goldin's current auction. Featured above is Eddie Miksis' 1947 flannel that he wore during the World Series. (Auction Link)
“Miksis will fix us,” was what he was playfully referred to by Branch Rickey during the following season in 1948. Obviously, Eddie was highly regarded. He was an super-utility player who, at the ripe age of seventeen, already displayed the skills and smarts of a much older player. Just to illustrate how wanted he was, he joined the franchise only after the Dodgers bought an controlling interest in the minor league club he played for (the Trenton Packers) in 1944.
