As a youngster growing up on the east coast of Canada in the golden years of baseball in the 1950s, I fell into the Vin Scully trap on radio and became a lifer with the Dodgers even when they abandoned me for the far west coast in California.
The memories of Duke, Pee Wee, Jackie, Campy and so many other stars still remain fresh in my mind. At the same time, I was very aware of the other Dodgers who were not considered to be stars but played significant roles with the Dodgers – Billy Loes, Shotgun Shuba, Jim Hughes, Joe Black, Andy Pafko, Ben Wade, Billy Cox, Russ Meyer, and so many others.
