Campanella Enjoyed 1955

Roy Campanella had a year many ballplayers can only dream of. In 1955 Roy Campanella won the MVP award while helping to steer the Brooklyn Dodgers towards their first World Series championship. In the below AP press photo found on eBay he shows his delight as he reminisces about the past season with his MVP award, game bat and ball from that magical year.
