Great vintage pickups. Thanks for posting.
Very nice Pick-ups. I don't have a Furillo, have to admit I'm a little jealous. Enjoy and keep up the good buys. Get them while you can....Mel

You should really like this, then:
This is my favorite Brooklyn Dodger auto I own - to me, it's better than the Pee Wee Reese auto's, all the Duke Snider auto's, even better than the Clem Labine auto from Topps Fan Favorites.
According to all the stories, the newspapers articles and all the books written about the Dodgers, Furillo had a cannon for an arm, was a great hitter (he won the 1953 batting title with a .344 average) and this totally unassuming guy who ended up being a butcher and a steelworker after his days playing baseball ended. He didn't have the star power that Reese, Hodges, Robinson and Snider had, but the guy was a gamer.
