Dodgers yearbook, illustrated by Willard Mullin, 1955

From the collection of Jerry Stern

The Dodgers, nicknamed “Dem Bums,” projected an image of rough-and-ready working-class gumption. Before the era of integration, they had been the perpetual underdogs, winning only three pennants in 40 years. The “Brooklyn bum” caricature captured the second-class image of the team as a bunch of ordinary guys with a lot of heart and perseverance, not as upper-crust as Manhattanites but definitely the salt of the earth.

" Back in inning one is a photo of a record (78 rpm)that Jackie & Peewee made. I still have the jacket but sadly no longer the record. But I do remember the story told and "lesson" imparted on that record. Jackie & Peewee were passing by a playground where Slugger was refusing to bunt to help the team. My Dodger heros finally convince Slugger to bunt instead of selfishly swinging away thereby helping the team win...Reese & Robinson, have there ever been finer men in Baseball? Or anywhere else?

At that time it was known that the left hemisphere of the brain was responsible for rational, analytical and logical thought and was considered to be the essential part of the brain. The right hemisphere of the brain was thought to be the lesser half - at best passive, at worst, a remnant of an earlier stage of human [url=http://www.theshanghaiescort.com]shanghai escort[/url] development. A question we frequently get asked is whether male and female thinking preferences differ. The answer is yes. It is a broad generalisation but women tend to be dominantly right-brained, thinking more emotionally and empathetically, while men tend to be more left brained, thinking in a more structured and logical [url=http://www.theshanghaiescort.com]the shanghai escort[/url] fashion.
