Dodgers you disliked

[theAmazingMet]

Just curious, were there any Dodgers that the fans didn't care for? Or were there any players that you yourself didn't like for whatever reasons?

How about Walter O'Malley!

Players? .............can't think of anyone.

Years later--Lasorda............but at the time EVERY Dodger was a "hero"..........

I wonder how well Leo Durocher was liked. He seemed to be a polarizing figure.

[tonypug]

Durocher was loved when wearing the Dodger uniform, he was hated when wearing another uniform. Duke Snider was the only Brooklyn player that I can remember ever getting publicly boord in Ebbets Field. Of course Duke brought it on himself, with his comments. But it was a within the family type of thing.

I wonder if the fans booed during the "Daffiness Days"? Of course that is before ALL of our times...

Which is not to say that some of us are indeed "Daffy".

How about Frank Kellert who agreed with Yogi that Jackie was out at home in the 55 WS. Of course by playing only in 39 games it is hard to imagine Kellert being a Dodger, even with his .325 BA.

That comment pissed off his teammates, and of course Kellert was tradedto the Cubs right after the series.

MLB TV did a slow mo shot from a totally different angle of that steal. The camera was from in back of third base (behind Jackie, but close up) and he was safe! All the commentators agreed. SAFE. Rizzuto said he appeared safe, but Phil was pretty far away at ss.

[tonypug]

Most of the angles, do show that Robinson was safe. The most popular photo, leaves that decision up to the individual viewing it. Yogi of course, clearly moves in front of the plate to meet the ball, and all Kellert had to do was move his bat and touch Yogi, and catchers interference would have had to been called.

We've "covered" Yogi's catcher's balk here some years back...............

I shed no tears when Fred Walker was packed off to Pittsburgh. he stopped being my "cherce" when I heard the stories about how he treated Robinson's arrival. while you're at it, throw it Bragan, although he was a second rater in every aspect.

I was born in July of 1947, so have no practical knowledge of Dixie's last years in Brooklyn. After being the darling of Brooklyn for years, how was he perceived and treated after his feelings about Robinson were revealed?

There is a great passage in the recent bio of Yogi Berra. The author, Allen Barra, is a neighboor and friend of Yogi's and recited verbaitim several exchanges between himself and Yogi on the topic at Yogi's annual World Series viewing event at the Berra Mueseum.

Quite ammusing as Berra gets more and more curt with his "HE WAS OUT" answer with each passing year!
