I was 13 that year. Kept my own stats of each game. Remember that team so well. Still have not quite gotten over their desertion 2 years later. I'm not sure what became of the Dodgers afterwards. They've never been heard from again.

Hal, Thanks for your comment. I understand how you feel. My dad felt the same way. That was my main motivation for writing, THE 1955 BROOKLYN DODGERS - MY DAD’S TEAM.

You can find the book on Amazon.

Last month, the book debuted as the #1 new release in sports history.

And I’ve had several people tell me they enjoyed it as much as The Boys of Summer.

Peter O’Malley wrote to me, “You've done a great job paying tribute to your father, putting together this well-written, interesting account of that extraordinary year.”

If you message me, I will send you the introduction to the book.
