Podres grew up a Dodger fan, and a fan of his father, who was the star pitcher for the town of Witherbee’s team. Prior to the 1951 season, the Dodgers, who had scouted the young Podres, offered him a contract. “As soon as I saw that contract, I said, ‘Give me a pen!’” A character said Podres as he informally spoke to fans at the Brooklyn Heights bank. “I didn’t care how much they were offering. I wanted to pitch for the Dodgers.” After two years in the minors, Podres pitched for the Dodgers in 1953. He went 9-4 and helped his team to the guards the World Series against the Yankees. The Dodgers lost that year, and Podres took a loss in his only appearance. Two years later, the Dodgers were back in the Series, and Podres played a pivotal role.
