Now, Only Willie Remains

Hall of Famer Duke Snider, who played sixteen seasons with the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, a feared hitter who had five straight seasons of 40 or more home runs, who played on the Dodgers' 1955 (Brooklyn) and 1959 (Los Angeles) World Series championship teams, passed away at age 84, the Baseball Hall of Fame revealed on Sunday.  Mr. Snider had been battling an undisclosed illness at the Valle Vista Convalescent Hospital in Escondido, California.


Rest in Peace, Duke.
