at the convergence of McKeever Pl,, Montague St, Bedford Av. and was it Sullivan Pl? I actually played there once in 1958 in a tryout for Kansas City...what a thrill. My idol always was Gil Hodges and all of a sudden there I am playing first base and wearing(proudly) number 14 on my uni on the same piece of hallowed groud in Ebbets Field where Gil played so brilliantly -other than the birth of my kids and grandkids it is still the biggest thrill of my life. 9/24 is the birthday of Anthony Newley...let's all ask ourselves exactly what kind of fool we are in his honor Also F Scott Fitzgerald Reply #109.

Exactly! Everyone I know who grew up in that area has a fond anecdote or two about the place. You played at Ebbets! Gil Hodges stood out in a group of standouts. --Brooklyn Dodger (for one appearance as a pinch runner) Otis "Scat" Davis was born on Sept. 24, 1920.-- Reply #110. Sep 24 11, 5:18 PM |

I'm assuming that is not who you are,just a piece of Dem Bum lore-and that's one good for you,I never heard of him. OK:what Brooklyn pitcher claimed to have lost a ground ball in the sun (and it happened in the World Series)? Reply #111. Sep 24 11, 6:27 PM |

I googled "Brooklyn Dodger born Sept. 24" and found Davis, so there's no great mystery involved in my comment. I can't answer the question, sorry. :( Reply #112. Sep 24 11, 8:19 PM |
