Duke Snider debuted in Brooklyn with Jackie Robinson in 1947, but it wasn't until 1949, after Branch Rickey hired George Sisler to help Snider "establish an acquaintance with the strike zone," that Snider showed the form that would make him the leading home run hitter of the 1950s, with 326. In the four years (1954-1957) that Mays, Mantle, and Snider starred simultaneously in New York in full-time capacities, it was Snider who led the three in homers and RBI's. His power stroke was well suited to the bandbox structure of Ebbets Field, and the drives he hit that didn't leave the ballpark regularly pounded the stadium's high right-field wall for extra bases. This original painting captures Snider in front of Ebbets Field and was signed by Snider.
