Roy Campanella Shaking Hand of Fan
(Original Caption) Neighborhood children crowd around their hero Roy Campanella, Brooklyn catcher, after he was named the National League's Most Valuable Player for the third time. Campy was tending his Harlem liquor shop when word came that the Baseball Writers Association named him for the 1955 season by a vote of 226 to 221 for a runner up Duke Snider, Brooklyn's star centerfielder. After a slump in 1954 due to a hand injury, the Dodger backstop staged a comeback with a .318 average, drove in 107 runs and clouted 32 home runs.
