CHUCK DRESSEN SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH IN BROOKLYN DODGERS UNIFORM JSA D 1966 Charles Walter Dressen (September 20, 1894 - August 10, 1966), known as both "Chuck" and "Charlie," was an American third baseman, manager andcoach in professional baseball during a career that lasted almost fifty years, and was best known as the manager of the powerful Brooklyn Dodgers of 1951-1953. Indeed, Dressen's "schooling" of a young baseball writer is one of the most colorful themes in Roger Kahn's classic memoir, The Boys of Summer.
