I don’t remember Jim Gentile being on the Dodgers. He sure had a great year in 1961.
How are youBrian? He was in the 1957 & 1958 team according to the Dodger guide, what they used to call the media guide. Hey! at work we have an employee named Jim Gentile. No, no relation. We also have someone with the last name Rutherford. I emailed her asking her if she was related to the baseball player. She said no but that she has been asked before.
