Me, too! Wasn’t just hiding it. Shared a bedroom. That was the most thrilling era of baseball in my lifetime, bar none! Koufax, Drysdale, Tommy and Willie Davis, Maury Wills(!), Johnny Rosboro...what a team!!

Who’ve I forgotten to mention?

Jerry Doggett, Vinny’s other half, not as great but stayed on the game rather than mouthing off stats like robots today.

Speaking of Tommy Davis. Just last month I had a chance to meet him at his home in Rancho Cucamomga Ca. My brother was doing some handyman work at his home there. He gave me a signed 8 1/2" by 11" color picture of himself in uniform and in batting stance from probably '62 or '63.

It's signed personally to me it says:

"To Rick,

NL Batting champ

1962 1963

Tommy Davis"

I will treasure this and pass it to my kids.
