As a way for fans to get closer to the players, Walter O’Malley introduces the first Autograph Day in the history of Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field. Dodger players were stationed in booths under the grandstand prior to the game with the Cincinnati Reds.

That's a pretty cool bit of info. The Dodgers continued that tradition at least through the 70's in L.A. on Sunday home games. Still remember being pissed off that I got Walt Alston after waiting in line...not so pissed anymore
