From where I got it:What makes this picture even better: This night, honoring Campanella, was at Los Angeles Coliseum, even though Campanella never once played in Los Angeles. He was paralyzed in 1957, the last year the Dodgers played in Brooklyn. Even though they never got to actually see him play for their new team, LA fans still welcomed him with open arms.
