...made a pilgrimage to Ebbets Field. "Who are those persons over there?" he asked curiously, as the teams warmed up. "Those," said Dodgers' President Walter O'Malley heartily, "are the hated Giants." The King smiled. He was duly introduced to Jackie Robinson and Dodgers' Manager Charlie Dressen and shook hands heartily-although Robinson, for one, displayed a certain air of suspicion when he was summoned to meet "the King." Feisal betrayed only polite interest as Leo Durocher screamed at the umpire and rooters filled the air with horrid sound. When the Giants' Bobby Thomson...
...time-the third inning, with rain threatening-no one thought much of Erskine's chances for a no-hitter, least of all Brooklyn's Manager Charley Dressen. With a glance at the lowering skies, Dressen hollered at Erskine: "Hurry up and get this guy out!" Erskine threw four hurried pitches, all fast balls, all wide of the plate, and Ramsdell walked. Moments later the rain came and held up play for 44 minutes. Pitcher Erskine, 25, spent the time in a clubhouse bridge game...
What Brooklyn Manager Charley Dressen saw in spring training this year was a lanky (6 ft. 1 in., 165 Ibs.), cocksure youngster with plenty of promise, but little experience.

Loes shut the Pittsburgh Pirates out, 2-0, with six-hit pitching. Dressen tried him again, this time against the Chicago Cubs. After six innings, with the score tied 1-1, rain washed out the game, but left Loes's performance in the record books...
Brooklyn Manager Charley Dressen shot the works. Starting with his ace lefthander, Preacher Roe, he used up a total of seven pitchers trying to cut the Phillies down. In the eighth the Dodgers scored three runs, tied up the game. Going into the last of the twelfth the Phillies threatened again, loading the bases with one out. Brooklyn's Don Newcombe zipped a third strike past Outfielder Del Ennis. But then Philly First Baseman Eddie Waitkus lashed a liner toward Second Baseman Jackie Robinson, who had missed a grounder in the second inning that let in two Philadelphia runs...
