The Dodgers were at tables along the third base side of the concourse, signing autographs. I went over to watch these “Boys of Sum- mer” turned men of autumn sign autographs. The line was about as long as the distance that Sandy Amoros ran to make his game- saving catch in the seventh game of the 1955 Series, but Amoros’ dash had taken seconds. This line had been going for an hour and a half. The Dodgers didn’t have to stay to sign any more. They had done much more than expected. But they stayed. Erskine was supposed to be signing copies of his new book “What I Learned From Jackie Robinson,” and he did sign nu- merous copies of his memoir. But Erskine also signed plenty of the day’s giveaway 1955 Dodger banners along with other sou- venirs, like 1955 Dodger yearbooks and Brooklyn Dodger hats. Labine was overdue to go back to his summer home in Rhode Island. He kept signing — like the others — whatever was put in front of him. Finally, Labine had to leave, but the rest stayed on, even after the game ended. And it was more than just for autographs. Fans talked with the players, getting that warm Erskine smile, Labine’s witty remarks, and friendly wink from Roebuck and an ani- mated joke from Schuba. F THE 11 SURVIVING 1955 Dodg- ers, only these four could make the Oceremony. But these men were in no way Dem Bums. They were the World Series champions in 1955, and on their visit back to Brooklyn in 2005, they were champions once more. On the field, the Cyclones jumped ahead of Jamestown with a four-run first. After five innings, the Cyclones had a 5-2 lead. Pitch- ing for Jamestown was Todd Doolittle. Afew generations ago, the four Dodgers who signed autographs behind the third base stands were minor leaguers as anonymous as WT
