Who cares about HOF? He battled cancer and pitched for 16 years in the big leagues. He will always be a winner to me. Enjoy your retirement, Big Guy.

Ok, to make up for originally not scrolling the entire thread before posting, here is a name which would not be mentioned otherwise. As a 10- year- old kid, this was the guy who originally got me interested in the Red Sox until I later found out he was only a temporary replacement for a better...

Sorry: Just got around to reading full thread.

I haven't scrolled over the entire thread but appreciated the references to Ike Delock, and Earl Wilson who I also liked. I think my favorite was Frank Malzone though. I remember him coming up with Don Buddin from Louisville as a young rookie, anchoring third base for years, hitting a home run...

At last the full story on Rich Hill. I can quit searching for Dick Mountain on Facebook now. 2022 is now complete for me.

Sorry. I'm old , so just get rid of this before I am also deemed senile. Thanks for the above info.

I saw on Facebook that he signed with the Red Sox but it is not on MLB or the Red Sox site. Is this "fake news"?

I think most of us agree that we've been living on gravy since beating the Yankees. Beating the Rays and pummeling the Astros twice just made me greedy for more. Now I want to win the next two, but if we don't, I will move on to hoping the Nebraska basketball team can finally find an NCAA...

I've been living on gravy since 2004 but it never it never fails to be tasty.

One fan's take on the book. Review: Game under a microscope | Book Reviews and News | journalstar.com

I have enjoyed reading this thread, especially the mention of Vic Wertz, who died July 7, 1983. That grand slam was August 14, 1959. How do I remember? I had mentioned it in a poem I wrote about memories of my dad called "Bits of Amber". Incidentally, Hoot Evers was mentioned in the same poem...
