THE BEST FIELDING PLAY I'VE SEEN by Robin Roberts. The play came this year, 1954, against the Phillies and was made by Duke Snider of the Dodgers. They were one run ahead in the last of the 12th. We had two men on, at first and second, and two men out. Willie Jones hit a long line drive to left center. If the ball were to fall in for a hit, we would win 6-5. Snider leaped high against the wall and caught ball to win the game for Brooklyn. It was a shock for the Phillies, but I've never seen a better catch.
During his long career in the 'National League, Bob has been one of the best sluggers around. He had another good season in 1950, hitting .305 for 142 games. Slammed 28 doubles, 24 homers. Drove in 107 runs. Originally an outfielder, but while being managed by Frank Frisch at Pittsburgh was made into a third baseman. Traded to the Braves for 1947. Batted .317 that year.
