@nut_history He was my all-time favorite. The more I watch this the more the pitch is similar to the grooved one Downing threw Aaron. Mick hit more but this was one that was going down in history. 500 huge deal then. Stu Miller was a junk pitcher tho. Just sayin'.
@RyLiberty Are you related to Scott Dawson? If not this guy sounds just like you. Saw he was in Kill Devil Hills on an interview last night. Stunningly similar.
@Porkchop__2007@its_The_Dr The big deal, cause he was a future pick, was to sign him before he went back into the draft after his senior year. Not sure of what date was the deadline. Rabbit hole? Research NBA "territorial" picks back in the day.
@Kswing6@SleeperYankees Agree unless a Volpe miracle. Yearly salary and length directly proportional to George's timeline and other unknowns. Built for The Stadium. Tough call. Finding a starting catcher seems #1. It is brutal. Makes Romine look like Jorge.
@BarrySchust Hard to disagree. The one year he coached the Redskins really proved his coaching acumen. They had been feckless. With his death we will never know. George Allen would have probably stayed with the Rams.
@RonaldVoigt4@BarrySchust Looks like he only hit 112 as a DH. I give extra props to those that played in the field also. A hitter is a hitter but I think it makes a difference. Kyle fell into it when they finally did away with pitchers hitting. Not going to be a caveat going forward tho.
@b0ea9ac90e94421@PeterVecsey1 You're right. Way before true free agency. Know Peter is NY guy but Red used to steal guys for Boston like NY did for the team in the early '70s. Bailey Howell, Em. Bryant later Silas, Scott, DJ. Kids these days think Jordan invented the NBA. Historically ignorant and shallow.
@CardsCigarbox Still great. Collected many and would definitely see same photo in a different year. Live action photos as one's baseball card is criminally cheap horse crap. '66/'68 Mantle. Same day photo, different angle pretty sure. Topps Heritage very cool but player limited. $ grab, maybe.
@Schwalm5132 Cool. You have done well and glad you are still kicking. Almost all protests like this are just a form of, sorry, protest masturbation. Laughable and sad cause they don't fundamentally understand the opponents are well funded ideological "Terminators". It won't stop like this.
@ColonelTowner JFK was not loved by Israel and vice versa. Probably can make a case a newly installed POTUS returning the favor. Got to look close at all the events leading up to Dallas. Who could have some very disturbing intel? Just sayin'.
@JTAlexander Follow the money that is paying Newsweek to attempt to push racial violence. No new ideas under the Sun for psychopaths. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
