Still know them. I thought Jackie was good but there were so many good players that except for the sociological issues, Jackie was just one of the guys. My favorite player was Billy Cox, #3. I guess it shows I like the underdog. As a kid, I could go through the Dodgers lineup, offensively and defensively, and I knew every number. Still know them.

My dad grew up a Brooklyn Dodger and his favorite players were Sandy and Gil. When Gil became the Mets manager my dad was over the moon. There's a great book called The Quiet Man by Marino Amoruso about Gil. Nice job with this article Coop, you've brought up good memories. He was my dad’s favorite also.
