Well,chanteyranger, I can relate to early memories of baseball. In the mid sixties, my brother and I went over to Detroit from Toronto and saw the hated Yanks play the Tigers. Denny MacLain grooved one to Mickey Mantle and he hit in the upper deck. It was a big thrill for me. I remember those early Giants teams, with guys like Leon Wagner, Willie Kirkland, and the rest of the Giants you mentioned. I just wonder what Willie Mays stats would have wound up if he had not had to play in Candelstick Park. A lot of flyballs were knocked down by the winds in that park, so his HR's totals would have been much higher. The Angels-Giants series should be a good one, and I really don't have a rooting interest here, other than I hope it is good baseball. The Met-Yankee series didn't draw the big audience on tv like they thought it would, so I'm wondering if the west coast series will be the same. Being an American League fan, because of the Blue Jays, I guess I'm pulling for the Angels, but I also like Dusty Baker a lot. So, may the best team win, and I would like to hear Jack Brickhouse say once more, "The Giants Win The Serires, The Giants Win The Series." Too bad, he's passed away.
