Robinson Talks
On 'Incentive'
Of Brooklyn
Brooklyn & Jackie Robin
son, brilliant Brooklyn second
baseman, was asked to explain
the difference, if any, between
the current Dodger team and
the one that lost the 1951 pen
nant in the final playoff game
to the New York Gianta after
holding a 13 -game lead in Au
gust. "That's easy," said Robinson.
"I can explain the difference in
one word. The word is incen
tive." The question was asked be
fore the Dodgers' home opener
Friday, before they defeated the
Giants, 7-6 in 12 innings for
their fourth straight victory
without a loss.
"The boys don't talk much
about it,"' Robby said, "but
blowing last year's big lead still
weighs heavy in their minds.
Although we lost more because
of the Giants' amazing finish
than because of our own fail
ures, the follows feel that they
have let the fans down.
"We're determined to win
this season. More than any
other year. We feel we've just
got to do it. We owe something
to the fans."
