Thanks, Len! I've got this '56 Topps in my binder. P.S., Duke was my earliest childhood hero, and I've been bleeding Dodger Blue since '57.

Rubin,

You would enjoy my new book, THE 1955 BROOKLYN DODGERS - MY DAD’s TEAM. It debuted last month as #1 in sports history on Amazon.

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

I definitely remember his feat in 1956. I hadn’t realized how long it took him to get and stay in the majors.
