December 31 2003-- Relive the golden days of the 1950s in this amazing account. When the lights came on again after World War II, they illuminated a nation ready for heroes and a city--New York--eager for entertainment. Baseball provided the heroes, and the Yankees, the Giants, and the Dodgers--with their rivalries, their successes, their stars--provided the show.

"We shall not have such an era again except in such loving books as this one." --Red Barber

    Former Los Angeles Dodgers Executive Vice-President Fred Claire has joined the investment group Bullpen Baseball Partners as a consultant.

    The announcement of Claire’s role was made by Kurt Colicchio, one of the principals of the company. Colicchio is a minority owner of the Yakima Bears, a team in the Northwest League.

    “The objective of Bullpen Baseball Partners is to acquire minor league teams whose value and annual operations may be enhanced by the sports business expertise of the principals and consultants of the company,” said Colicchio. “Fred Claire served as a member of the Dodger front office for 30 years and he brings a great deal of experience and expertise to our company.”

    In a distinguished career with the Dodgers, Claire served the team as publicity director; vice president of public relations, promotions and marketing; Executive Vice President in charge of day-to-day operations; and Executive VP in charge of player personnel. Claire was saluted as Major League Baseball’s “Executive of the Year” in l988 as the Dodgers won the World Series.
