Duke Snider, the Hall of Fame center fielder for the charmed "Boys of Summer"
who helped the Dodgers bring their elusive and only World Series crown to
Brooklyn, died Sunday. He was 84.
Snider died at the Valle Vista Convalescent Hospital in Escondido, Calif.,
said the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, which announced the death
on behalf of the family. Snider had been ill for months. His family said he
died of natural causes.
"The Duke of Flatbush" hit .295 with 407 career home runs, played in the
World Series six times and won two titles. But the eight-time All-Star was
defined by much more than his stats
