Darren and Bob, put me down, too, as one loving those '54 Bowman Dodgers. If I ever get a De Lorean time machine, I'm going back to that season to watch the boys play at Ebbets Field. That's not the year they finally beat the Yankees, obviously, but they had a hell of an offense that year. Duke and Gil both hit 40 bombs and drove in 130, Jackie was still an All Star, Pee Wee had a career year at the plate, and though Campy had a real down year, he was still capable of the big swing. He rebounded in a big way in 1955. And my favorite Dodger twirler from that era, "Oisk", paced the team with 18 wins.
Carl, that DiMaggio is outstanding, but I can't stop looking at the '57 Kluszewski. Look at those guns, too. Jesus.
