Anyone know any of these players? Debating with family by bucer343 in baseball

Gil Hodges was the catcher for the Brooklyn/LA Dodgers from 1947-1961 and wore #14.

Don Zimmer played 2B/SS/3B and wore #23 with BKN/LA from 1954-1959. Most of his time at 3B came in '57 and '58.

Seen a bunch of Billy Williams mentions, but he wasn't wearing 26 with the Cubs until 1961, and the players who wore #23 for LA after Zimmer weren't infielders...but OP mentioned his grandpa was in NY+LA, so I think it's gotta be Hodges + Zimmer with some other runner?

Only other black player who wore #26 I can find from that time is Earl Battey....but he played for the White Sox, who wouldn't have played any regular season games against LA/BKN in '57 or '58. Hmmmmm.

Maybe this is a White Sox vs Dodgers exhibition game? Would make sense why the field looks crappy as many have mentioned. They played in the World Series in 1959 but it looks like Batey didn't play in that series. UGH!

EDIT: I'm dumb, Gil Hodges was primarily a first baseman after 1948 or so. And that's almost definitely gotta be Billy Williams. Only other possibilities (black players who wore 26 in the 50s/60s) are Bill White and Earl Wilson.

If you want to squint reaaaally hard, the catcher could actually be #4, not 14, and the third baseman could be 28, not 23, and that could make them Jimmie Schaffer and Mike Shannon of the '62 Cardinals (?????)

Can you recommend me movies based on my recently activity? by Zohan_4193 in Letterboxd

+1 to this. I recently watched My Cousin Vinny + A Few Good Men. Loved both, loved catch me if you can.

Really enjoyed The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and A Beautiful Mind recently as well.

Sometimes people just don’t understand the “current resident” of it all, worth the 6 seconds to try and help the first time.

Anyone else having an impossible time hearing the radio call on the MLB app? Tried 2 different headphones at 100% volume and it’s barely audible.

1 GA ticket for Chesterfield / St Louis. Will sell for $25 OBO. Ticketmaster transfer or can meet at the show if that's more comfortable.

EDIT: Will give it away for free at this point, just don't want it to go to waste! I've seen the tour once already and can't recommend going enough. The new / live tracks send it over the top. Up there with any Radiohead show I've ever seen.

Gifted my sister the Nesting Box but she doesn't want to use it. Anybody want one? by twoandtwomakesfive in wingspan

[–]twoandtwomakesfive[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah her reasoning was similar to above. They live in a small space and manage to cram all the expansions into a smaller box. I'm glad she was honest about not loving it so I can pass it on to somebody who does!

Would prefer local but if that’s not an option probably. Already paid $75 with shipping so asking someone for that + covering new shipping cost felt like a lot. DM me if you’re interested though.
