Boy that's going back. He caught McCovey's line drive to end the 7th game of the '62 World Series. Rizzuto always called him "The Doctor." Look at that pic above. Probably Spring Training. No fences. Sandlot field. Different time.

That's news to Bobby Richardson.

The league used to have presidents - and their own offices. Now it's all MLB.

You think you know something for 50+ years and then reality gets in the way.
What else have I misapprehended? I shall reflect on my humanity the rest of the day

Don't sweat it. I thought 12 +1 +1 = 12!

Remember those old Donruss cards? They sold those one year at our concession stand at little league. You could get 3 or 4 of the same player in the same pack. Never a good player though.

I started buying baseball cards in 1964. I finally got a Roberto Clemente in 1967. By then I had enough Al Luplows to paper the walls of my bedroom.

Cards like Luplow's quickly migrated down to animate the spokes in our bicycle wheels. Well, for those that still had fenders, anyway.

I would get a Jerry Don Gleaton in every pack and never heard of the guy ..
