Give it up bro

He was a juicer that’s what history is going to show

100 years from now when guys are talking just like we are that’s the first thing they’ll think

Nah, a 100 years from now people will be watching robots playing baseball.

I was to young in 67 only 3 , but know all about it from dad and uncles , I remember Gibson at end of his career 74 75 ? Man was intimidating

Stan the man was a better hitter than Yaz , no doubt , but Yaz was a great defensive player and also hit over .350 in two loosing WS , also he probably had one of the single greatest seasons of any player all time in 1967 with clutch hits and that glove , most likely would have won Ws if Tony Conigliaro didn’t get hurt , what a tragidy that was !!!

Tony C was, I remember talking to yu long ago about him. Youngest player ever to reach 100 homers in that era. May have been surpasssed now, but a different time. I was from a time when only 9 players had 50 or more homers in a season. I love the game, would have loved to see what Tony C could have done. Sad day.

Probably stick-em

Did they have that back then

baseball is a great game no matter who your favorite player team or time was ,, it brings up friendly banter and bonding with your father , clearly observed in Field of Dreams when Ray has a Catch with his dad , who wouldn’t want to go back and have one more game of catch with your father. If that didn’t choke you up a bit ,, you just don’t get it !
