Pretty much an average pitcher except for that one magic day. RIP.
Remember this clearly—yet I was all of 5 One other memory stands out__ about age 10. In the back office at Commiskey DAd had played for them like for 2 weeks and was trying to save a dime .
We got to our nosebleed seats and near the end of the game ask if I noticed the 2 gents in suits ahead of us in line. Yes just others lookiing to save a dime. He noted it was Mantle and Maris. I could have feinted but said nothing. Just stunned.
