This day in baseball: Snider sold to the Mets

After moving west from Brooklyn to Los Angeles with the Dodgers in 1958, Duke Snider returned to New York after the Dodgers sold him to the New York Mets on April 1, 1963. Snider would prove to be a sentimental favorite among former Dodger fans, who now rooted for the Mets.
