Before heading west in 1957, the Brooklyn Dodgers were among baseball's most beloved and colorful teams. It's been over fifty years since they moved to Los Angeles, but they remain ingrained in the fabric of our national pastime. In this oral history of dem bums, bestselling author Peter Golenbock tells the team's tale through the recollections of former players, writers, front-office executives, and faithful fans.
In their own words, Dodger legends such as Pee Wee Reese, Leo Durocher, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Ralph Branca, and other greats recall the club's ups and downs. Brooklyn fans and other baseball enthusiasts will savor these warmly nostalgic accounts, which range from reminiscences of the magic of Ebbets Field to tales of Jackie Robinson's historic debut, The Shot Heard Round the World, the triumphant 1955 season, and the ultimate betrayal by a certain Walter O'Malley. Sixteen pages of vintage photographs complement the text.

Great Quality Natural Fabric Dress
Size: X-Large, Color: White
This dress was everything the reviews said - nice weight, well made, and great fabric. The suggested size matched my usual size, and it fit like a glove. That said, there was no extra room, and the fabric has no stretch.
I’m 5'9" and prefer long dresses to be closer to ankle length, but this one hit at an awkward length on me. For the price, it wasn’t worth keeping, though I do think it’s fairly priced for the quality. Nowadays it’s hard to find clothing in cotton or cotton/linen blends, so I really appreciate that it’s not made from synthetic fabric.

Disappointing second one with a damaged zipper
Size: Medium, Color: Iceberg Green
This is maybe the 5th Drop linen dress I have purcahsed different version for my two girls and I and this is the second one I have received with a damaged zipper. It is disappointing they fit well and are well made . I am not sure if the last two I have received were returned items.

Nice quality
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Very nice fit and material. I’m a size 14 & the XXL fits well - maybe a tad bit big, but I didn’t want it to be fit uncomfortably tight either. My only complaint is that the side zipper gets stuck right where the pocket is. But I am able to put the dress on without having to open & close the Ipper.

Gorgeous
Size: Large, Color: Black
I bought 2 of these dresses, they are adorable. They are well made, fully lined, quality product.
They fit so well and will be flattering on any figure.
I’m 5’10”, the length is perfect. Well below the knee.
A classic fit and cut

Flattering fit, great feel, totally worth it
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I had to squeeze my girls in, but I made it work, lol! This was my first time shopping from The Drop and I was so suprised by the quality. It's definitely a heavy dress but I really love how it feels and fits on my body. For context, I ordered a medium, I'm 5'2", 155 lbs, 36DD, and 30in waist. It's tight on my bust but comfortable around my hips and waist, which isn't a big deal. The side zipper kills me though lol so beware, lots of twisting to get that thing shut. BUT still worth it. great dress.
