Duke Snider Autographed Helmets and Hats

 

Sources say that in 1958, Duke saw a dip in his performances and it was when the team he played for decided to move to the famous grounds in Los Angeles. As family members of Duke say, it was during that time that Duke was silently suffering from an aching obstacle in the knee and he also battled the challenge of taking dominance over the 440 foot field fence at the famous Cavernous Coliseum.  Fans showed support and collected mementos such as the Duke Snider Autographed Cap and the Duke Snider "The Duke of Flatbush" Autographed Brooklyn Dodgers Baseball.

 

According to many tabloids, we read that Duke made just fifteen homers that year and by the early sixties, with more injuries and his age catching up, he was then reduced to the status of holding a part time slot. Many channels on sports said that it was in the early sixties that the Dodgers when ahead to lead the National League for the lions share of the game season , however towards the end they found themselves in a tie with the Giants who were mightily hated by the Dodgers.  In 1962 it was a trade that shook the Dodgers where Duke was traded off to the New York Mets. As soon as he joined the Mets, Duke had to wear the number 11 jersey and not the number 4 which he was a familiar with, since Charlie Neal who had the number 4 refused on giving it up for Duke. Well Duke with no offence wore the number 11 until Charlie was out of the team and traded of to another team and then Duke got his number 4 and the cap.
