Found browsing though my pictures directory recently — a great Ebbets Field shot with trolley in foreground. And there are even some Brooklynites dodging it! ;)

From 1955, here’s Eddie Fisher getting an award from Dodger Pee Wee Reese at Ebbets Field. This is from May 31st, just before a night game versus the Pirates, which you can check out on Retrosheet. The Dodgers lost that night, but, as you might recall, things worked out pretty darn well that year.

The next year, in October 1956, Eddie Fisher and his wife Debbie Reynolds had a daughter who eventually became famous in her own right — Carrie Fisher. Who has her own blog now.

It’s a small world.

I’m pretty sure that’s her father sitting next to her, too.

UPDATE: And here is Miss Ebbets in mid-throw…
