Carl Erskine

"The Boys of Summer" Most of you have heard the phrase. You don't have to be old to appreciate that remarkable era of baseball...just be a fan of the game no matter what your age. I sat down with one of the last remaining members of that exclusive Brooklyn fraternity, Carl Erskine.

 

Nicknamed "Oisk", Carl is 93 years young, and we had a terrific time enjoying a conversation about Brooklyn in the fifties and his cherished teammates...iconic players you would know simply by their first names; Jackie, Duke, Pee Wee, Campy, and so many more. Carl said that he thoroughly enjoyed our conversation...for me, I came away with goosebumps.
