Wow, this brought back a memory when the newspapers used to print detailed Box Scores for each game. Do they still do that? It has been so long since I have looked it up.
To: Homer_J_Simpson
Wow! Great players in that box score.
Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?

Nowadays, if you want detailed box scores you go to ESPN.com, SI.com or MLB.com.

Wonderful stuff. And a leading role in the game for one of my heroes, Rapid Robert Feller. I’ve been to his shrine in Van Meter, Iowa. Great stuff from a bygone era.
Feller also served in the Navy for four years during World War II and was very proud of his service.
