Happy Felton and Jackie Robinson with three young guests on Felton's pre-game show, c. 1955 and ball autographed by Jackie Robinson, presented to Merritt Whitman, May 14, 1954
From the collection of Jerry Stern, photograph by David Arky
"Happy Felton's Knot-Hole Gang" featured a contest in which three little leaguers showed off their skills for a member of the Dodgers who then decided which boy played best. The winner got to meet the player of his choice and received an autographed ball.

"August 15th, 16th or 17th, 1957, I was a winning participant in the little league competition at Ebbets Field. Since Jacky was gone I selected Junior Gilliam as my favorite. Best days of my life meeting Pee Wee Reese, Gil Hodges, Duke Snyder, etc. Any chance a photograph of that day may still be available? "
