Earlier this month Carl Erskine passed away at the age of 97. The last of the Brooklyn Dodger players on the 1952 and 1953 teams that were the subject of Roger Kahn's best selling The Boys of Summer. A good long life for a good man, about whom I wrote in 2020. He leaves behind his wife of 76 years and fond memories among all those he encountered and helped.
Carl was one of two surviving members of the Dodgers 1955 World Championship team. Now only Sandy Koufax, 88, is left.
