LOL. What school put it over the loudspeakers? The principal musta been betting.:shrr:
I can relate to the transistor though. Ear plug cord up your arm with long sleeve shirt and resting your palm on your ear.
I got that picture hanging in my office. Maz swing...ball in flight....Yogi with hands on knees. Autographed by Yogi, Maz, Gil MacDougal and catcher Johnny Blanchard.
That's a nice picture. Gil Macdougal I watched the game when he took one in the throat. Clete,Gil, Bobby and the Moose. I have Bobby Richardson's Rookie card and it's getting graded along with some other oldies but goodies as we speak.
Oops, it was Tony Kubek that took the bad hop in the throat.
Yes your right Macdougal was before Kubek Right? Sad getting old.
Btw, did u ever drink that shit beer they use to advertise? Ballantine. U talk about transmission fluid.....whew
Edit: At least Harry finished them bombed but finished.
If the people came he moved you and cleaned another seat No Charge! I would love to be 20 years old again but not in these times.
1959 WS if I remember correctly from that series the Dodgers lost the first game something like 11-0 or 11-1 and the Daily News the next day the headlines read "Still Da Bums" The Dodgers went on to win that series 4 games to 1 or 4 games to 2 mind you I'm doing this without Google so if my facts are a little off please understand. The White sox had one of the greatest Shortstops to ever play the game. The big hitter in the line escapes me gee I could see his face but can't remember his name right now. Baseball will be back before you know it and while your at it you can shit can this sport they call the NFL
I'm thinking somebody else then. Sad getting old. Sometimes I 'm talking and I completely got off the topic and don't realize it until I see the other person's face trying to keep up lol .
Chicago White Sox (1959–1960)
On August 25, 1959, his trade for two players gave Al Lopez's first place White Sox team the much needed additional home run power to help win the American League Pennant. The White Sox faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. In the first game at Chicago's Comiskey Park, Kluszewski, who had grown up in the Chicago area, hit two home runs and drove in five in an 11–0 rout of the Dodgers. However, the Dodgers would win the next four out of five games to win the series with pitching that neutralized the White Sox, except for Kluszewski, who hit .391 with three home runs and 10 runs batted in.
Automobile mogul Jim Moran offered a free car to any White Sox player who hit a home run in that World Series. As he recalled in an Oct. 21, 2005 interview with Mike Downey of the Chicago Tribune, Moran ended up giving Kluszewski three original 1960 Ford Falcons.
Those were the go-go Sox weren't they? Don't remember them having an actual big middle of the lineup guy although they did have some decent hitters. Shortstop was Aparicio OT, second baseman was Nellie Fox. One of the few double play combinations where both guys made the Hall of Fame.
Yes #12, I sure do. I also recall in that era ex-ABA'er turned NBA'er George McGinnis hadda pack-a-day habit during playing days.
Yes Petti, Dick(Don't call me Richie) Allen started with Phils and later joined his psycho buddy Jimmy Piersall in Chi. Either JP was an announcer or just retired.
