Clement Walter Labine
Clem Labine was a fixture on the iconic Brooklyn Dodgers baseball teams of the 1950s, sharing the field with future Hall of Famers like Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Duke Snider, Sandy Koufax and Pee Wee Reese. But before and after his remarkable fourteen-year pro ball career, (3 World Series rings and 2 All Star appearances), Clem was also a fixture on the “Jacob Finkelstein & Sons team”. Clem began working at the factory during his high school summers, beginning in 1942 at the age of sixteen. In 1944 he enlisted with the 101st Airborne and served until 1946.
