Bio/Historical NoteThis shirt dates from when Charles "Chuck" Dressen served as a coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1959, who won the World Series that season. As a player, Dressen played third base for the Cincinnati Reds, save a brief stint with the New York Giants. After he retired as a player in 1933, Dressen went on to manage and coach several different teams, most famously the 1951-1953 Brooklyn Dodgers, a team that had many future Hall of Fame members on its roster.
