Former Dodger Shuba dies at 89
Former Dodgers outfielder George "Shotgun" Shuba died on Monday at his home in Youngstown, Ohio. He was 89. Shuba is most famous for what became dubbed as "A Handshake for the Century," when he congratulated Jackie Robinson, his Montreal Royals teammate, after Robinson hit a home run on Opening Day 1946, his first season of professional baseball in the Dodgers organization.
