WML Project: Williams, DiMaggio and Musial

[SWC75]

Here is a heck of an outfield, the three great heroes of my father's generation:

5/23/54 Ted Williams Tieless as usual. The Red Sox had just made a major comeback to beat the Yankees 10-9 at the Stadium.


Ted comes on at 17:50. His mode of dress is typically casual.

9/18/55 Joe DiMaggio He’d just returned for a trip to Italy. He uses a “squeaky” voice to try to disguise himself but it doesn’t work very well.


Joe comes on at 17:20.

3/8/64 Stan Musial. Stan had just retired. In his first four full seasons, the Cardinals won the pennant and three World Series titles. Then he had 17 consecutive series where they were an also-ran. He retired after the 1963 season. They won the pennant and World Series in 1964. Stan is the first guest.


These three guys played a total of 54 seasons and 7,054 games. They had 8,498 hits in 25,499 at bats, hit 1,357 home runs, drove in 5,157 runs and scored 5,137 runs.
