I always learn something new when i listen to Vin Scully, today i learned that if you step on a crack in the sidewalk then you'll break the devil's dishes 😆

This is game 1 of a double-header. The Dodgers come in 22-14 on their way to an 84-70 third place finish. The Pirates, in the last of their really bad seasons of the 50's were 10-25 on their way to 62-92 and 7th place. But things were soon to change for them.

Yep actually finished second place the next season only behind the Milwaukee Braves. Then pure magic happened in 1960.

At 1:07:03 Vin notes that the team and crew will probably leave Pittsburgh around 11pm by train for their next series in Philadelphia the following night. Not many chartered flights in '57 I gather lol.

When they moved to LA, Walter O Malley bought his own plane. The Kay O..named after his wife.

How funny to hear Vinny plugging Lucky Strike cigarettes as the sponsor. The Duke hits HR and hear Vinny talking about Sandy Koufax pitching 2nd game of this doubleheader. So MANY Dodgers that came to L.A. the next year, 1958.

[@kfmidd83]

This game showed how powerful the sponsorship of Lucky Strike was. Al Helfer can barely get through a batter without making a reference to “Luckies”. It’s fascinating stuff …
