• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1958Bobby Thomson | Getty Images The Cubs made very few deals this year. The Cubs had come off of a couple of really bad seasons — 90+ losses — in 1956 and 1957. About all they had going for them was Ernie Banks, who would become league MVP in ‘58. They didn’t do much to help Banks by trade, anyway, in this year. April 3: Acquired Bobby Thomson from the Giants for Bob Speake Speake had burst o...2024Read about Ernie Banks news and rumors -

"Clyde Sukeforth, who scouted Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente and Sandy Koufax and signaled to the Dodgers' dugout that Ralph Branca was ready to face Bobby Thomson, is in the Hall of Fame not as a player, but as a painting." - 2018
"While home runs from guys like Gibson, Bobby Thomson, Bill Mazeroski, and Joe Carter (among many others) will be remembered forever, it can never be fun to be the guy on the other end of it." - 2017

The book was probably my father's, as he was a Dodger fan as a young man. Even now, at 83, my father can recite the Dodgers lineup, position by position, complete with colorful anecdotes about each player. I often wondered how a poor boy from western Kansas g...2024See also World Series contract -
