Brooklyn Dodgers Ticket Office

He's here again

Two older men seated on chairs outside office building with sign on door reading, "Brooklyn Dodgers Baseball Ticket Office"; man at right has sign over chair reading in part, "My Winning Ticket Is The Dodgers and Ike for President." Caption: "He's Here Again: Indomitable Samuel Maxwell, 63, of 31 N. Oxford St., right, parks in front of Dodger office at 215 Montague St., to be the first World's Series ticket purchaser in Brooklyn. Last year Sam shivered for a full week in the shadows of Ebbets Field in hopes of being the first fan to enter its portals for the Series, but the Giants altered his plans. Dodgers are hoping this time that the jinx doesn't hold up. Keeping Sam company in his vigil is Joseph Bowler."
