Subject: RE: BS: BoSox take it all!!!
Hey Jerry, when I was a teenager in the 60s, I was able to get Pirate games on the radio. Being a Torontonian, this was a big deal, and listening to Bob Prince was always a special treat. Speaking of the Yanks/Bucs World Series in the early 60s, I know a life long Yankee fan who, despite all their World Series titles, still gets very upset at having lost that year to the Pirates. In the games New York won, they bombed Pirate pitching, but couldn't close the deal. Back in those days, aside from Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson was the greatest pitcher I ever saw. The Tiger/Cardinal World Series, which took place later in the decade, also sticks out in my memory. Mickey Lolich won three games.
