Above, note that Robin Ogle was drafted by the Dodgers as a first baseman in 1972. Below, The Times drops the nameplate for the Dodgers' mug shots and runs a nice, deep picture of Carl Erskine ... Also note the Jack Smith byline on the story about the murder of Cecil "Hard Rock" Thomas.

I have an old Herald-Express "Newsboy" badge from the Coliseum....
