[edit] Trivia Section Correction

There is a mistake regarding Carl Erskine.

Allow me to cite a forgotten poem:

"Turn back the hands of time, Oh where, oh where was Clem Labine, Give me the lead that once was mine, Let's do it all over again."

The poem was about Bobby Thompson's "The Shot Heard 'Round the World" from the Brooklyn Dodger perspective, in that Clem Labine (not Carl Erskine) was warming up in the Dodger bullpen with the ill-fated Ralph Branca. There was only enough space for two pitchers to warm-up within the cramped confines of Ebbets Field. Given that Clem was "bouncing his curve" according to the (soon to be fired) Brooklyn pitching coach, Ralph Branca got the call. Thus Carl Erskine wasn't warming up in the pen, but probably watching the game from there (which was customary).
