Duke Snider, Pride of the Dodgers


Duke Snider is one of the all-time great Baseball players, and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1980. He played for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947 and moved with them to Los Angeles in 1958. He is currently the last living Brooklyn Dodger who was on the field for the final out of the 1955 World Series. Sometimes he goes months at a time without signing anything at all, then all of a sudden he will start up again and be very accomodating to his fans. With Baseball autographs being one of the most forged in the hobby, it's great to know that a lot of the old players will still sign autographs, saving fans from the risk of shelling out a lot of money for a fake.
