Red Sox lost series to Blue Jays, lost series to Cubs, about to lose series to TB Plus Toronto lost a series to Oakland and barely avoided getting swept with a 2-1 win today. It would take a historic collapse to lose the AL East. I'm keeping my eye on Houston. |

He was a fearsome sight at the plate. He looked like he was standing ten feet from the pitcher. I believe he is suffering from MS these days. I had no idea. Another of Sarah's maladies that she had to endure for half her life. Parker was exciting to watch. I still like those old caps. I had one of those when I was kid. The Yankees & Pirates were my two favorite teams when I was little kid (they never played each other, so it worked) I used imitate the Willie Stargell windmill swings to my little league coach told me to knock it off.  |

Remember that throw he made in the All Star game? Few people remember, that is was a Graig Nettles single that started the whole play. Is this the one: Great play by both Parker and Carter. Two legends. And nostalgic to hear Joe Garagiola and Tony Kubek on the call. |

Big Poison (my dad first - in one of his rare good moods - told me about the Waner brothers) had 237 hits in 1927 with a line of .380/.437/.549/.986. |

Thanks Kaybli. Different sources attribute MVPs differently, so for the old timers it's hard to know. Pre- World War I they used to give out The Chalmers Award, which was in essence an MVP award, but not everyone counts those. |
