Fan's notes

Sometimes you find stuff on the internet that’s very loosely tied to what you collect. Recently I found a licence plate topper which only had a small reference to the Brooklyn Dodgers. This item might be stretching it juuuust a bit more.

I can just imagine a kid from the knot-hole-gang waiting at the gates for the players to arrive to chalk up their licence plates and car brand  in a notepad. Even following them around on their western flyer and figuring out their addresses. But since most players lived in Brooklyn, it pretty much was common knowledge where they lived.

I’m just fantasizing. But it could just have been like that. Who knows, still, it’s a fun piece of fan 'art'. 

All the big names are on it. Some with address, some with licence plate and / car brand. I tried to look up some of the cars. Googled player names and car make, but I only got one hit: Jackie Robinson's steel grey Buick. In the picture below with Rachel Robinson and one of their sons.
