Brooklyn and LA Dodger legend and native Angeleño Duke Snider died today. He will be greatly missed by Dodger fans everywhere. We were lucky enough to see what his last appearance at Dodger Stadium, in 2008, when he walked out to Center Field for the last time (and then sat and enjoyed the show on a folding chair).
