Wow! What a photo.
Here's a great action shot of a play at home featuring Johnny Roseboro. Unfortunately, he was unable to hold on to the throw. (eBay auction link) From a June 3, 1962 game. Via the description on the reverse:
Bobby Wine, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop, is safe on this play at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday at Philadelphia. Wine had to jar the ball from the grasp of Dodger catcher John Roseboro on a hard slide. Wine scored from first base on John Callison's double to rightfield in the third inning. He had to slide to beat the relay throw from first baseman Ron Fairly on a peg from rightfielder Duke Snider. The Phillies handed the Dodgers their second straight loss 7-5.Below are more links to check out:
- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1943 Dodger skipper Leo Durocher signed a new contract to remain with the club. The contract provides a $20,000 base salary plus an additional $5,000 for every 100,000 fans over 600,000 attendance. In 1981, Game 5 of the World Series, the Dodgers win their third straight game against the Yankees to take 3-2 series lead. Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager hit back-to-back homers, and Jerry Reuss pitches a 2-1 complete game for the victory.
