Pseudolus, I'm right there with you, man, soft pretzel, Ballantine Beer, and all. But who are those guys? Sorry, all I've been able to hear on the radio for the last 8 years here in Hawaii is the Giants (who were, it should be told, my second favorite team as a kid). I'm still basking in the days of Jim Bunning, Chris Short, John Callison, Richie (that's right, Richie) Allen, Tony Taylor...hell, I still remember all their numbers! (32, 41, 6, 15, and 8, since you asked.) And what's this I hear about a new stadium? What's wrong with Shibe Park? (Actually it had already been renamed Connie Mack Stadium when I went there, but my dad always called it Shibe Park.)
Aloha, Mark
Oh, and Bobert, your dates are a teeny bit off. I saw Roberts pitch in the first Phillies game I ever went to, but that was, I believe, in '60 or '61. He retired before the '64 season. We had the aforementioned Bunning and Short...and not too much else. Art Mahaffey? John Boozer? puh-lease! And Rick Wise was just an 18-year-old rookie--but a good one.
