Turn back the clock. if you
will. almost three decades.
Remember the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers Of. say. 1890. They had the
likes of Dazzy Vance. Del Bis
sonette. Al Lopez and Babe
Herman.
Uncle Wilbert Robinson was
the manager.
A jolly crew they were. I'M
practicable. but dear to the
hearts of the Brooklyn faithful.
Herman's antics in the field and
on the base paths left them
roaring.
One of the fayorite tricks of
those never TO be forgotten
Dodgers was for one of them to
steal a base already occupied by
one Of their mates.
During that 1880 season. one
Joe Pignatano was a shaver of
less than 2 years old being
pushed up and down the streets
Of the Bay Ridge section OF
Brooklyn.
Little did he realize that 81
years later, as a rookie on his
own Dodgers, he would try TO
steal a base that was already
taken and bring CLEAN Of

timers.

had doubled home a run in the

Pignatano was that two Brooks

livered his blast.
Joe saw them both score. But
he didn't see Sandy Amoros sent
back TO third base because OF a
ground rule.
