About the Book

The Schneider family candy store was established  on 496 Empire Boulevard in Crown Heights Brooklyn in 1938, 6 blocks from Ebbets Field,and was operated by the Schneider family until 1962.  In  this book  are a short story about my mom, Leila Schneider , and 27 authentic Brooklyn Dodgers autographs ,  collected by her during the many years she went to the games and cheered them on.. Autographs include  Pee Wee Reese and Leo Durocher who snuck my mom into the games for free. Each player had a couple of mascots , and those two chose my mom, and they hung out with her  when she was nine years old,and even  after she graduated Erasmus Hall High School till they left Brooklyn and Ebbets Field closed down.
