| Title: | Everything's Jake |
| Description: | Brooklyn Dodgers coach Jake Pitler in uniform and looking into camera; blurred view of stadium stands behind him. Caption: "Everything's Jake: Jake Pitler, first base coach of the Dodgers, is 59 years old but he still believes there's a Santa Claus. Until 1947 his entire baseball life was spent in the minors as player and manager, except for a brief trial with the Pirates. He played in little wooden parks, ate indigestible food, rode buses all night. Then the miracle happened -- the Dodgers sent for him and he was a big leaguer overnight." |
