                    <description><![CDATA[Ebbets Field is shown in the Brooklyn borough of New York, April 9, 1954. In the last few years Brooklyn Dodgers Duke Snider and Roy Campanella have wrecked home run records in Ebbets Field. In 1951 they tied for most homers hit here by an individual, each getting 21. Last season Snider took individual honors when 23 of his 42 homers were hit beyond the barriers. Campy, too, beat his old record, getting 22 of his 42 home runs of home. One of the most important home runs hit in Brooklyn came in 1950 on the final day of the pennant race. It was hit by Dick Sister in the 10th inning and gave the Philadelphia Phillies the flag.
