    Baseball was great in the 70`s. Nice tribute thread.
    little know fact
    His brother Herman could hit a fastball a mile but never made it past AAA.
    scratch that, that was a different family the Munsters I think

    it was Roy Munson a bowler that lost his hand if memory serves me they were cousins, as documented in the movie Kingpin
