    Me 3, plus i loved Yogi alot too, Maris, Ford, Howard, and a few others, hell even Ryne Duren. The Yanx were the bomb in our young years.

    Same reason as a kid, I came to love watching Willie Mays, McCovey, Marichal, Bob Gibson, Carlton, Koufax, Drysdale, Kaline, Hodges, Catfish Hunter, et al. (tons of others too)...

    As kids in the 50s-70s, the game was so much different, when ushers didn't keep kids from getting autographs, and players had not began to charge big bucks for their signatures in decades to follow....half the fun of the pre-game back then.....

    Truly the GOLDEN YEARS OF MLB....

    Wait a minute Rick, I have drawings on papyrus, before Cleopatra was born, of you building the pyramids....and receiving your Lava Rock Birthstone as a gift from the Pyramid Egyptian Union......

    I've also read, you were an apprentice to Galileo and DaVinci.....when I was tutoring under Tesla....all those years gone by and you've forgotten, but then what are friends for, but to remind you or your own greatness....LOL..

    Bobby Richardson used to amaze me when he turned the DP at 2nd base...to this day, I still can't see how anyone can turn it any faster than Bobby...and Hector Lopez was a slow runner...lol
    Clete Boyer was real good with the glove and his brother Ken was a borderline case for the HOF (3B) in my eyes.
