Big fan of Duke, Campy and Preacher Roe. Dressen should have brought in Erskine. He was warming with Branca.

Older gentleman wearing a Dodgers baseball cap walks into the St. Helena branch of Bank of America.  The assistant manager says jokingly "Hey, this is Giants country, you can't wear that in here."  Old man replies, "I think I've earned the right to wear it anywhere I please."  Turns out it was Duke Snider, who was a Dodger for the first 15 years of his career, then a Met for one year (made the All Star team!) and his last season in 1964 was playing for your San Francisco Giants.

He retired to Fallbrook in SoCal (Duke was born in Escondido and went to Compton High).  There was a Duke Snider fan club there, and they did fundraisers every year.  It was run by a guy named Bob Lucy.  Duke taught Bob's son Donny Lucy how to swing a bat.  Donny Lucy played for Stanford from 2002 through 2004.
