1958 Topps #88 Duke Snider
About Duke Snider
Edwin Donald "Duke" Snider (1926-2011) was nicknamed "Duke" by his father in childhood for his self-assured swagger. A graceful center fielder with a powerful left-handed swing, he debuted for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 and became the heart of their 1950s lineup, earning the affectionate title "the Duke of Flatbush." Snider hit at least 40 home runs in five straight seasons (1953-1957), led the NL in home runs in 1956 and in RBIs in 1955, and was an eight-time All-Star. He helped the Dodgers win the World Series in 1955 in Brooklyn and again in 1959, their second season in Los Angeles, and remains the only player to hit four or more home runs in two different World Series. Over 18 seasons he compiled 407 home runs, 2,116 hits, and a .295 average. Snider was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1980.
