1964 Topps #155 Duke Snider
About Duke Snider
Card #155, a second-series base card, is the last Topps card of Snider's playing career. It still shows him with the New York Mets and reports the 1963 line he posted there: .243 with 14 home runs and 45 RBI for a club that finished 51-111. The Mets sold him to the San Francisco Giants on April 14, 1964; he batted .210 with four home runs in 91 games in his eighteenth and final season.
Edwin Donald Snider was called Duke from boyhood, after his father watched him strut about like royalty, and Brooklyn turned that into the Duke of Flatbush. He debuted for the Dodgers in April 1947, two days after Jackie Robinson, and by 1949 owned center field in a lineup that also carried Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella and Gil Hodges. New York spent a decade arguing over Snider, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle. His answer was five straight 40-homer seasons from 1953 through 1957, more home runs and more RBI than any other player hit or drove in during the 1950s, the National League RBI title in 1955, the home run crown in 1956, and eight All-Star selections. He was MVP runner-up in 1955, the year Brooklyn beat the Yankees for its only World Series title, and he remains the only man to hit four home runs in two different World Series. A second ring came with Los Angeles in 1959. He finished at .295 with 2,116 hits, 1,259 runs, 407 home runs and 1,333 RBI, and hit 19 home runs off Robin Roberts, more than any batter has taken off one pitcher. The Dodgers retired his number 4 in 1980, the year Cooperstown called.
