PrintAn outstanding player in all aspects of the game, he joined Mays and Mantle in making CF the marquee position of the 1950s. "From 1949, his first full season, until 1957, the period generally considered the golden age of New York baseball — the last time the city’s fans were divided into three camps, and when at least one New York team played in the World Series each October — Snider was a colossus, one of three roaming the center fields of New York."
