This "Pacemaker" from Paramount takes a look at the 1946 season of the Brooklyn Dodgers, managed by Leo "the Lip" Durocher, who married movie star Laraine Day, got suspended from baseball for a year by the Commissioner for being too palsy with the bookies at the race track and was the first to say "Nice Guys Finish Last." It also takes a look at the fans who believed that the only good umpire was a dead umpire, and an even closer look at most famous fan, Hilda Chester. Dodgers radio broadcaster Red Barber is also on hand. The Dodgers didn't win (again) in 1946 but wait 'till next year. Written by Les Adams See less
