Title: | This changing world |
Description: | Brooklyn Dodgers first baseman Gil Hodges sitting on sofa with his wife as they prepare to change their baby's diaper. Caption: "This Changing World: It took a bit of practice but Hodges finally mastered the knack of making the necessary adjustments to Gil 2d's three-cornered uniform. He admitted, though, that it was easier to make a first-to-second-to-first double play. Versatile Gil originally tried out with the Dodgers as a shortstop, and played one season as catcher before moving up a base." |
