I was a young lad at the time and really into baseball. I collected baseball cards and my dad took us to a lot of White Sox games at old Comiskey. It was big deal when Denny McLain won 31 games in 1968.


The Year of the Tiger in 1968 was also the Year of Denny McLain. He's shown here winning his 30th game Sept. 14, 1968.

"He's shown here winning his 30th game Sept. 14, 1968."

I reported to San Diego Boot Camp on Sept. 18th, 1968 and for the next nine weeks, I was out of touch with the world as I underwent my primary and advanced naval training.

I made it home for Christmas that year, 55 lbs. lighter and bursting with pride in my new dress blues.

It looks like it's going to be a great World Series. Tonight's game was great!
