SummarySmiling fans waving into camera behind wooden barricades and before closed gates at Ebbets Field; two girls in center with sign reading, "Let's Murder Those Giants." Caption: "Early Birds Baiting the 'Worms': Early morning arrivals at Ebbets Field's bleacher gate mince no words in showing their disdain for the beloved Dodgers' opening game opponents in the Flatbush ballpark. There's larceny in the smiles of Barbara Anne Greene, 18, of 5 Lamont Court, left, and Anita Tinkoff, 18, of 53 Malta St., who hold the anti-Giant placard. Offering his own colloquial echo [illegible] from the rear -- 'Come On, Branca; Get Even What They Did to You' -- is Joseph Santangelo of 381 Menahan St."
